We're having serious water issues along a wall that was treated by a specialist two months ago. Now, a few weeks after fitting the floor, the board closest to the wall is wet and badly damaged.
Our specialist re-visited yesterday, and confirmed that the treatment was appropriately injected. I asked why this was done above (not below) existing floorboards, and he mentioned the treatment must begin above ground. And that as long as the floor does not touch the brickwork, all should be ok.
But, we have confirmed that the floor IS floating - there are no cases where floorboard, fermacell, or engineered wood contact brick. However, the skirting which has been in place for 2-3 weeks is saturated and moldy. It appears that the wet coming through the plaster (below injection point) is passing moisture to skirting and then onto the wooden floor.
Has anyone seen this before? How should we proceed? We've scheduled a second opinion. But, we're meant to move in (with an infant) in the coming days - so, keen to resolve ASAP.
Is there a membrane we can apply to ensure flooring elements are protected? At present, it appears that our damp proofing only protects the wall
