Did they do any re-plastering

It should have been injected into the mortar bed not granite! What did they do?

So you still have a damp wall, post a pic and lets discuss

Why do you want to know how old I am? I thought we were talking about damp lol

When you say it's **** , what do you mean?

Its not a copy and paste, this is the basics of any damp diagnosis that was taught to me years ago, SALTS! Did you read the below link? Sampling for Moisture and Soluble Salt 'Profiles' This is what is taught as a basic of understanding of dampness and salt distribution, I hope this helps! No...

Irish Spread read this.......you may understand after reading this about rising damp and salts, and also why Bre digest 245 is used Sampling for Moisture and Soluble Salt 'Profiles'

I see it on a regular basis 2, a local authority had a terrace of houses (3) with a suspended floors that had a nasty dry rot outbreak. Anyway the floors were removed dry rot treated and they replaced the floors with concrete and insulation...... they then all got rising damp lol The dynamics of...

You certainly show that you don't understand the distribution of salts which are left at the height of rise. Nitrates and chlorides distributed in a salt band at for example 1m, none above and none below, these are hygroscopic! How did they get there if there is no such thing as rising damp...

Why would you need an electrical conductivity meter if you don't believe in rising damp lol Why do you get a salt band at the height of rise then, if there is no such thing as rising damp? Many laboratory studies!!!! Bre Digest 245 is used in court to prove if there is a damp or rising damp...

EXACTLY, ITS TOTAL MOISTURE CONTENT. That is hygroscopic salt and free moisture, so its a waste of time on site and proves nothing.

So what wme do you use for rising damp?

Rising damp doesn't occur from an internal bridged cavity then if its built with bricks? Rising damp in a brick for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGlRDZo2_Eo

irish spread I'm still laughing........ it can rise through an external brick but not an internal lmfao BRE LOVE PEOPLE LIKE YOU :RpS_thumbup: NO FACTS LMFAO

The dampness doesn't rise through the bricks.....i laughed so hard I pissed myself! Do you know the pore size of a brick? Im not talking of an engineering brick.... So it can rise through bonding but not a brick lmfao
