Oily Substance On Bathroom Walls

Several weeks ago the walls in the bathroom began to bleed a mysterious sticky substance some sort of oil.

Oily substance on bathroom walls.

Yellow sap like substance on inside walls over the last month or so we have had random spots of sticky yellow sap on our walls in weird spots. The drips are always on paint. If you haven t noticed brown spots or streaks on your bathroom walls in the past or anywhere else in your house but start to see them after recently painting the problem could be something called surfactant leaching. It looks like water has condensed on the wall but despite repeated cleaning the substance still appears brown and sticky.

All 4 walls in the bathroom were bleeding from top to bottom. I have noticed in the bathroom after recently painting steam seems to leave an oily golden yellow residue dripping down the walls. The bathroom is up against the wall to the outside of the house. Then i noticed it on top of the radiator.

In the bathroom i ve noticed that on certain surfaces like the part of the sink that is connected to the wall has some yellow substance in it. They appear on external and internal walls. Is it something that is leaching out of the paint. The drip can start from.

You need to strip the wall paper strip the walls and start over from bare walls. Started noticing this same thing so we never painted the other walls. The ceiling seemed unaffected. I have an interior bedroom wall that somehow produces a brown sticky substance that runs down the wall.

Over the past few years i have found a number of oily yellowish drips in all areas of our home. That old of a home would have oil based paint and a varnish on the walls. What can i do to stop this. The wall is an interior wall constructed of wooden studs and 1 2 inch drywall.

It didn t build up it more or less pooled. A few years ago we used kilz primer and painted two of the walls in the bathroom. Having just cut a hole through the dry wall i can confirm that there are no leaks from the. I d say it s from condensation and the odd collection of goop is from the wall never being completely washed or painted for who knows how long.

We thought at first it was something from the kids spilled something and maybe didn t clean it up right maybe spilled some kind of candy or our 6 year old niece that visits and doing something. It would be alot of work to remove it. We have the wallpaper looking wallboard stuff. The condensation causes all the foreign material that is on the wall to coalesce into the water droplets.
