Hi gang,
I tore out a framed room in the spring after the drainage work, and all exterior walls are now plastered.
But then I noticed damp plasterboard at the bottom in one corner of a wall that originally (early 50s) was an outer wall. In the late 50s, an extension was built, and this wall is now not an outer wall.
Anyway, I tore off the plasterboard and noticed that the metal stud was rusty right in the corner. So, is the moisture coming from the slab?
Now I plan to install new metal studs and moisture-resistant plasterboard, but can I ventilate this wall section?

I'm not sure it's from the slab but I assume so.Jonatan79 said:
Uninsulated slab with underfloor heating.
It has been unheated during the summer. But with the circulation on.
Ventilation in the form of natural draft with mechanical exhaust in two places.
Yes, there are fresh air intakes in the room.Jonatan79 said:
Okay, then I'll install metal studs and fiber gypsum and skip ventilating the wall.
