Hi guys,

What with the rain and floods this week I have a problem with water running down the stairs and damp walls has caused the paint to bubble. Does anyone have a similar problem and know the remedy.

"Your comment about fur, and mildue....the re is a product you can put into your walls, I think it's some kind of silicone. You drill holes in the wall, and attach a tube to a kind of drip feeder, and the liquid soaks into the wall, and waterproofs it.
I can find out a bit more information if you're interested?"

I would like to know more about this too thanks

Thinking about it, the root cause of my problem is the door that leads out to the roof terrace, I have a duplex apartment, it faces the sea and when the rain comes down it leaks like a sieve causing the water to cascade down the steps and into my lounge. Any remedies for this ?
