I was hoping maybe someone has experienced this or knows what the cause could be?
I have been here in the same house for 13 years . We paint regularly but lately we have been seeing what we first thought was the paint fading away through out the house and that we needed to paint again but I went up this morning and rubbed my fingers across it it is like a black dust/soot accumulating on the paint . It has to have something to do with the humidity and prolonged rains? maybe? But we have had rainy periods before and never saw this. We have filtration in a few spots where the water comes through during heavy rains but this is different. I have another floor on top and even in places where or lower floor ceiling is not exposed to the elements , we are getting this build up of dust/ soot on the paint.
I am hesitant to paint over it , if it will just come through again.
I hope someone has ideas or advice?
thank you in advance
