What can I do with all these black circles appearing on my walls?
Every nine months into having my flat decorated black circles appear on the outside walls.Every time a decorator calls he says its the nails that have been used by the former builders on the cavity walls?? I am waiting for my management co. to inspect,but I have waited 3 months for them and still not arrived,so can anyone help me out there.It all sounds spooky but its not.I have tried talking to builders, but no one can say what it is so please help ( this has been occurring for 10 years) and now its getting expensive.Each time i have it decorated the chap says i'll put a coat of this or that but it never does the trick.They have now started appearing the the other rooms on the outside wall ?? very distressed homeowner
I would have a roofer check your roof for leaks. If they are dry circles, (not mold) then it is being caused by the walls not being insulated. It happens every 10 months because when it gets cold outside, the wall cavities get very cold. This cold transfers to the nails. Because the nails are colder than the surrounding wall, inside moisture, in the air, is drawn to these cold nails where the moisture condenses and is absorbed by the wall around each nail. Dust from inside the house is then attracted to each moist spot and collects there. If the wall paint is in otherwise good condition, washing the outside walls every spring should take care of the problem. To eliminate the problem, walls should be insulated, and an air cleaner installed. But cleaning the walls will eliminate the circles.
