Water Leak in the Living Room

Our living room (and dining room) walls had significant water damage to the plaster when we moved in. In prep for painting, I patched, sanded and scrubbed down the walls. Everything has been going splendidly except for an area next to the fireplace where the joint compound hasn’t dried. The patch was thick, but it’s been over a week.


























So that leads me to believe that we have a current water issue in the living room. Yesterday I bought some stuff to repair the mortar on the outside of the house and I’m hoping that does the trick. Until we know for sure, I guess that section of the living room will just go unpainted.
