The top back room of our victorian terrace has a damp wall, we think it's caused by the chimney so its scheduled to be knocked out. The wall underneath was partially tanked but the damp has seeped through any weaknesses, like the join between the celing and wall and any holes hammered in for pictures. We've hacked off all the plaster in this room and were due to have Insulated board put up straight away but I now think the wall is too wet to have an impermeable surface put on straight away.
So my question is, does it need to dry before I do anything?
