Introduction
Type of Building: Public residential flats
Leaching has occurred on the external wall of the flat’s toilet. This might be caused by excessive water seepage through the toilet wall since the toilet might be constantly exposed to wet and moist conditions.
Post construction efflorescence will always occur where percolating water affects the materials. Salts will be taken into solution and deposited on the edge of the damp-affected area.
