      I live in a heritage building on the top floor.  I have just moved furniture, my last review of the south facing wall was 6 months ago.  I have found in patches water damage; it is not just where the furniture was placed, which had a good 10 cm air gap.  The areas of damage are about 60 cms off the floor.   It is in unlikely places; nowhere near the windows and above the skirting. It is a painted brick wall, with lime scale ‘bits’ growing out of the wall. My Strata Manager asked me to send pictures of my walls, now he says it is internal.

       

      My downstairs neighbour has had trouble with moisture. They have no windows under mine; there is another section of the building which butts into their wall.  My question is who do I call for remediation. My Strata Manager says a plumber or a roofer, but I am not entirely convinced.  Also should I be responsible for the cost.  I’m at a loss, who do I call.

      Regards, Orange
