Afternoon all.
I'm looking for some advice from the experts!
I have an old end terrace house. Solid wall (no cavity). Road runs over a stream apparently.
It had damp when I bought it 4 years ago. Had a damp Injection put in. Had all the plaster off downstairs because it was dead. Plasterer came and dot a dabbed plasterboard throughout downstairs. I now have damp coming through all the adhesive points. I say now have.. Its been pretty much since day one. I've cut a load out and living with holes for now but I'd like to sell at some point in the next few years and need to make it passable.
The damp will probably never go away. Outside is cement rendered on the end wall which probably isn't helping. I just want to hide it. My idea was to remove the bottom half of plasterboard all the way round and replace it with foil backed but a quick look on here and sounds like you can't dab that. I'd really like to not have to strip the lot and start again, I just don't have the money, and the walls aren't all that flat so battening would be a nightmare.
What would you do?
Thanks
Zach
