Don't know the right place to post this.

I rented this place last year and repainted it, later on this white stuff started showing, what's the cause and the best remedy please?

Note: I want to vacate the room next year so I don't want to spend much on the room

MrCork:
its called Asbestos


Asbestos is a general name given to several naturally occurring fibrous minerals that have crystallised to form fibres. Asbestos fibres do not dissolve in water or evaporate, they are resistant to heat, fire, chemical and biological degradation and are mechanically strong.

What to do if you find asbestos in your house?
If you have asbestos materials in your home, extra care should be taken when doing DIY. DO NOT attempt work involving sprayed asbestos, lagging or insulating boards, as this must be undertaken by a licensed asbestos removal contractor. If in doubt, SEEK ADVICE

You just took complicated to a whole new level/world .. haba !


At OP i think thats which you see is common with Emulsion paint, quality of paint is the major cause here

you won't see such on gloss paint or satin ... paint quality matters

MadeMan01:
If is white and powdery. It is saponification. chemical reaction causing spores like foam from soap. based on quality of the paint and its constituent material

If it is fading, it is likely water from the floor built without damp proof membrane or water leaking into the wall from an inlaid pipe.
It could be mould if your room is not well ventilated with dampness on wall

ThMysteriousMan:
Its not fading, the white stuff is just there and doesn't stain finger if you touch it.

Kobicove:
I'm not an expert in these matters but I think it's due to rising damp.

If your apartment is downstairs then it means the foundation of the building is not high enough or was not done properly and if your apartment is upstairs then it's possible a pipe is leaking into the wall from the kitchen or bathroom etc

ThMysteriousMan:
Can oil paint salvage it ?

Kobicove:
So long as the wall is continually wet no matter the type of paint you use the walls will continue to flake off

Charmingrascal:
All these shalaye wasn't necessary


OP the outer part of the wall is not properly plastered allowing rain water to soak it.
Once the outer part of the wall is soaked it will reflect inside the room.

Get a cement and plaster the outer part of the wall and it might reduce. The probability of it stopping is 50/50 especially if the wall directly gets hit by rain water.
This don't happen during dry season
