Just noticed this brown stain above my living room window. I don’t have a ladder at the moment so can’t reach it to touch it but the wallpaper near it is starting to lift so I think it might be damp. But it’s on the ground floor and there doesn’t appear to be anything else around it or in the room above it. My bathroom is on the floor above too but to the right. Could it be water travelling from the bathroom down or getting in from outside? It hasn’t rained locally since Saturday.

    1000003005 Moving some stuff away from the window in the room above I can see this black dust on the skirting. I haven’t cleaned it for a little while and it doesn’t feel damp but that sure does look like mould to me.

    The item above is where my fibre internet comes in, it was installed about 2 years ago. I’m just now noticing some brown marks on the wallpaper there.

    EDIT: I think those marks next to the fibre inlet might actually be brick dust from when they drilled the hole.

      Ha! A buddy of mine was a cable guy for years.

      I’ll bet you $5 if it’s not your bathroom then the cause is the fiber installer poked a hole through your exterior wall and didn’t properly seal it.
