problem with rising damp

[andytow]

I had a problem with what appeared to be rising damp in my entrance hall.The entrance is on the side of my house and is quite small approx 1.25m x 2.5m and the door is approx 1.25m from the front wall of the house.The damp patch ran from the external corner of the hall toward the door and from the same corner toward the living room wall, and was confined to the hall only, on the living room side there was no trace of dampness. A specialist injected the wall at floor level on the inside from the door to the corner and from the corner to the living room wall and vertically up the front wall in the corner by the living room wall. He replasterd the walls up to approx 1m from the floor and fitted an airbrick between the door and front corner and two airbricks in the font of the house.The problem i now have is that there is still a very damp patch in the external corner of the hall not as large as originally there and extends about 0.5m along the front wall and the brickwork below the plaster which the skirting should be fixed to is very wet with beads of water running down the surface,this looks like condensation and is very bad.Can anyone tell me if this work has been properly done and if so how can i fit skirting to such a wet surface. the work was completed 4 weeks ago.

Without a diagram or pictures, it is hard to say exactly what the problem is. Is there any render on the outside which could be bridging the DPC and allowing the water in above it?

Alternatively, is the moisture simply coming out there because it cannot escape elsewhere and therefore being forced out in come volume at that point? It may be rising damp or possibly moisture left above the DPC which has still to find its way out.

many thanks for your response. There is no no external rendering, at the moment the plaster seems to be slowly drying up but the condesation if thats what it is on the brickwork is still quite bad.Also the airbrick has improved the airflow in the area but it is very much colder maybe that is why ther is so much condesation.
