Probably caused by the drain on the right. Can't quite see on my phone where the damp proof course is.

I would say the DPC may have perished/failed in them isolated areas judging by the fact the saturation has penetrated to the inside faces.

Speak to a damp proof company such as kenwoods or someone out of the directory. They generally do free damp surveys.
