Damp wall in bay window
Options
-
11-11-2019 1:21pm#1Over the weekend, we noticed some paint bubbling and damp stains on the front wall of our house, in the bay window. We have a couch across the bay window normally so didn't notice this previously.
The stains are noticeably damp to the touch.
The walls are solid block construction, circa 1955 although there is brick on the outside on the front only:
I suspect the moisture is coming from the window but as the stains are only showing a bit beneath the window level, could there be something else happening here?
Window condition:

can you show the left side and how the window frame is sealed up along the wall
This is the left side
And how the window is sealed to the wall externally:
The joint between the two windows externally:
The window against the wall internally:

And this is the wall now that it's not raining:
It does seem to me like the window is causing the stain / damage.
We are looking at having the windows replaced (primarily for noise reasons) as well as having EWI installed around March / April next year - do you think we are alright to leave things go that long or is there anything less costly we can do in the interim?0 -
