Hi all,
Looking for a little advice. We have moved into our new 2-floor apartment and after living here for a little over a week, we have recently noticed some stains in ALL 4 corners of the living room since we got it painted - the severity varies but the darkest corners are on the inside of the house with different neighbors either side. The paint is grey but the patches appear a bit dark and they streak from the very top (at the ceiling) down to the skirting board, so a few metres. Only one of the corners has a patch on the roof. None of the patches feel wet or moist to touch and I'm not picking any residue off with a dry cloth. I can't smell anything off them either. One of the corners has a bathroom above it. Another corner has a bedroom with no water source directly above the stain. The bedroom wall/floor shows no sign of any damage or patches.
This is the corner under the bathroom. The bathroom shows no visible sign of leakage and is very rarely used: postimg.org/image/99unv473z/
This is the corner under the bedroom with no water source directly above it: postimg.org/image/wt8k02kx7. You can see how this one appears quite thick at the top then gets narrow into a straight line the closer it gets to the skirting board. There is also a streak along the roof for a meter or two.
I am a plumbing novice so would really appreciate some opinions. I have a more savvy friend calling round on Wednesday but until then, any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Many thanks
