[Solved] Moisture Issue under Floor & Socket Smell - Help with Door Frame, Skirting Boards & Damp Walls

Hi! For some time my pink girl has been complaining that it stinks from the socket (no associations ) due to the fact that my sense of smell is not the best, I thought that the smells from the neighbors get through a crack and that's it. Unfortunately, some time ago my door frame came out, I did not splash the foam with water after assembly and I thought that the foam only swelled now. Yesterday I decided to remove the skirting boards in the bedroom and this view appeared:

on the other side of the kitchen door I also took off:

I started to dismantle the wall next to the door frame, the kg plates were coming off almost by themselves:

it turned out that the spout was soaked in water and it was possible to pick at it with a screwdriver:

I picked out what I could and it fell off by itself and started to dry with a farel, I scraped to the brown sand, at the moment I have it a little dry, but when I dig my fingers in this hole on the sides I still feel wet sand, which is starching as much as possible and I pull it with a vacuum cleaner, it looks like this :

From the bottom you can feel hard concrete that does not crumble. I have no idea what to do next, the bedroom was renovated a year ago and when I put the door in there was no moisture there, everything was even dry. Due to the fact that the building is from the 60-70s, I have no idea if there are any pipes in the floor or if it was insulated in any way from the bottom. I removed the fungus from under the slats mechanically, the walls do not seem to get wet, but when I broke off a piece of the board kg, I saw that there are black dots on the other side of the board (the wall is silenced with rock wool / frame / kg plates), in the kitchen the plates are glued to the cakes and also I can see the dots on the glued side, do I have to replace it or will this fungus die by itself after removing the moisture? I am broken, can anyone advise me something?

What is this building?
Which floor would come in handy.

Once it was an office building, these rooms have been converted into living quarters. My plans are that this room was a production room and a wall separated it from the office where the neighbor now has a kitchen. It is a ground floor building without a basement.

I would do this:

He tore off the entire floor, dried it, sprinkled it with a fungus preparation. Even when it's not there to protect it.

I feel sorry for you because such a leak is difficult to detect. If metal pipes then look with the detector where they are flying and look. Such a charm of metal installations.

Do you think there is no reinforcement in the floor?
He would never find such a method.

Well, I thought about the same, because I would have borrowed the detector. Ripping the entire floor off will be a huge problem. The panels are laid on tiles that I couldn't break as if they were being welded heh. I will wait until Mon and go to the administrator, maybe he has plans on how the pipes were laid, or maybe the neighbor has some shots in this area, gentlemen, is there a chance that the foundation slab is cracked and the ground cover is going? I live in helium and sometimes the ground is breaking at 50 cm

Do you have wells somewhere nearby?
How high is the water table?

Metal pipes are not likely to go through the floors

There is probably no well in helium, unless it is about can, heh. I had the pleasure of working replacing the plumbing around this building, when I haven't lived here yet, so I'm writing about 50cm. Everywhere you had to kill pins and pump the groundwater.

In this case, a thermal imaging camera can also help. If it is really a fault in the hydraulic system.

Look for the nearest external wall, dig a well, then you will see, I dug a cellar on one wall in the whole house, I keep apples in such a microclimate until new ones.

Well, gentlemen, after talking to a neighbor, it turned out that a few months ago (2-3) the hose under the sink broke, the water ran for a long time, they wiped what was and they forgot about the problem. Unfortunately, this problem fell on my head because this water probably spilled under the floor and in my case the plasterboard caught it. The floor consists of two spouts between which there is about 5 cm of sand, so all moisture sits in the sand. Fortunately, I didn't have to continue to tear the floor, so I hope I won't be taking the panels and tiles apart. Currently, it is a place with a heater and I wait until all the moisture comes out. I also reported the damage to the insurance company and the manager.

You will not get rid of this moisture quickly.
Unfortunately, it takes time.

Well, I suspect, for now I will replace these fungus plates and leave this hole for the moisture to come out.
