About Chimney Breast Damp Advice
Chimney breast damp advice explains a wet or salt-stained breast, which is often rain down an unused flue or hygroscopic salts, not rising damp in the lounge.
We look at the pot, the flashing, the cap and whether the flue is open to rain. An unused flue without a ventilated cap will wet the breast. Salts from old soot stain plaster even after the rain is stopped, and they need the plaster off, not a DPC in the party wall. We write what we found. Any flue cap, flashing or replaster is a separate POA. We do not inject the breast as a reflex. iComply quotes it from Stockport.
