Grim photos show the mould and filthy state in which a mum has been forced to live with her two young children.
Sinead Williams, 26, has endured the severe damp for months and is now worried for Eve-Mae, two, and eight-year-old Emily-Mae's health.
The mum said: “My eldest daughter, Emily-Mae’s asthma is affected by the damp.
“I rang the housing association before Christmas to tell them in my daughters rooms there is damp.
“They told me the gutters were causing the damp when they came out in December but they haven’t been back to sort it out."
Sinead says the damp in the property in Brickfields, Worcester, has caused her severe stress and made her mental health deteriorate.

The angry mother-of-two is now taking medication for the symptoms, she added.
“It’s getting me down and I don’t like being in the flat," she said.
“I’m looking at moving into the living room to sleep and giving my daughters my bed.
“I wish this would end.”
Mould can cause a major impact on health, particularly in regards to young children, according to NHS guidelines.
Mould produces allergens which, if inhaled, can cause asthma attacks.
But Citizen, which manages Sinead's property, has taken action to end the issue.
A Citizen spokesman told Worcester News: “We were contacted by Ms William about damp in her home last month.
“After an inspection it became apparent this was being caused by gutters being blocked which was forcing water back towards the property.
“The damp could not be treated until the gutter had been cleared.
“This needed to be completed by a specialist external contractor, which resulted in it taking longer than usual.
“The gutter was cleaned out last week.
“We will now arrange an appointment to treat the damp and mould.”
