[QUOTE="Now Playing, post: 394110, member: 2381"] I'm no expert, but once there is damp inside walls it takes a loooooooong time to get rid of it after youve eliminated the source. My brickwork was impregnated and I resorted to chopping off the plasterwork and burning gas heaters near the raw brick to eliminate the moisture. Probably not viable in your situation though. I would try to convince the landlord to supply a few dehumidifiers that you can keep running in the worst affected areas to help eliminate the moisture. You can also get an electronic moisture meter to monitor moisture levels in the walls as an early warning of possible leaks/ issues. Can you not move into another apartment in the complex, either permanently or whilst they fix - or are all apartments affected? Sika manufacture a lot of waterproofing chemicals and products that can help keep moisture out or at least seal your side of a wall. [/QUOTE]
