Wall paint and bleed through

[Mortalis5509]

So every spring I repaint half the walls and fill in any dings in the wall. Always use flat so you can't tell I do it.

So I have this small area where bleed through occurs. Looks like something is split and runs down the lower portion of the wall. Its been painted a few times. Use primer + paint every time, behr ultra. It bleeds through before the year is out. What would cause that? No other issue anywhere is the house. Light medium brown...called harvest brown I think.

Oil base Kilz is the only thing I know besides sheet rock replacement that will stop bleed through. Dark oil base paint causes bad bleed through.  Do not be suckered into the water base kilz BS.

I was thinking along with Jimbo on this one...

If she's bleeding through the wall you should find a different place to put the dead hooker.

I'll ask the Sherwin-Williams rep living in my house for the next two weeks.  Any pics to share?

That's most of it.

This is the paint I use. Again this one wall in the entire house. There is no water source near by. Sheetrock isn't soft.

Is that an exterior wall or near an attic fan/ladder?  Any reason humidity would sweat there? e.g. humid cold air from a vent blowing on a warm wall or vice versa.

Intererior wall. On the other side is the dinning room.

It's the wall with the plug and switch on iy.

Kilz it and it won't come back

Either Kilz it and/or if that doesn't work then it is most likely a polter-goose. Fixed only with a sledge hammer and new drywall. If it comes back after that, move.
