    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    I do not know what render they are using for the outside. It is down to the Managing Agent whose workman are carrying out the work. I will ask what render they will be using. So thanks for that. Can I just ask why I should avoid the damp course. I though that it would make the walls more water...

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    That sounds good. However the damp proof chap is going to inject a DPC but from the outside. I will need to speak to him about that I think. My tenant does use a dehumidifier already. Thanks for that reply.

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    Hello there, no my flat is not tanked yet, but the next door flat is tanked. However we are having builders in to take off the render and re-render as it is no longer water proof. My question is this. Can I put in a damp proof course in my own flat instead of tanking the flat. I have a tenant...

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    Yes we do know. We have had a surveyor in and he wrote a long report. The render is not water proof and needs to be replaced. What I am trying to find out is if a Damp proof course can be put in from the outside. My flat is a semi-basement and so I was taking the opportunity to put in a DPC...

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    The builders will be deciding what to use lime or cement for the render along with the project manager. What I want to know is should I put in a damp course from the outside because they are not going to do it!

    It isnt a cavity wall. The building is Victorian and the walls are about a foot thick. In some places more.

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    Yes we have had a survor in and I have penetrative damp. However I thought that as all the render was coming off and re-rendering the house. I would take the opportunity to put in a DPC from the outside. Not costing much and would make a difference. Hopefully!!

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    Just to say we have a surveyor in and taking all the render off was his advice as the whole of the render is no longer water proof and his advice was to remove all the render and re-render!! The surveyor is not attached to any company. We got an indepentant report.

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    Thank you for your reply. Sorry I have only just seen this as I thought replies came to my email inbox. It is difficult at the moment for a tenant to move out as she has nowhere to go and I thought that as they are removing the whole of the render I would put in a damp course at the same time...

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    The flat isnt really below ground because all the earth has been taken away. What I was trying to do is make it as water proof as possible and put in a damp proof course from the outside whilst the render is off! Is that not a possibility then. It would stop any rising damp. Hopefully!!

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    Yes the whole house is being rendered. I have a flat in a Victorian building made up of six flats. There is a lot of penetrating damp. Not sure if it has rising damp but to be on the safe side. I thought I would have a damp course put in whilst the render is off. Sorry for late response I...

    Yes I am sure, but the damp I am talking about is in the walls of a house! Not where you know about. I am sure you are an expert.

    No it doesnt that is a myth. However having said that with the brickwork being so wet and damp coming up where is the damp going to go which is already in the brickwork!!

    INJECTION DAMP PROOFING FROM OUTSIDE

    Where else woulf it go then if there are two sides which are water proof with rising damp!! Damp can only go up surely.!!! I do not know, but I read somewhere that if you have two walls that are water prooved then the damp will have to go. The problem is that the render has been pourous for...

    Hello All, I own a flat where we are having the whole of the outside render removed and re-rendered as it has become porous over the years. Also whilst the render is off I would like to have a damp proof injected to help witht he damp. I know a lot of people are skeptical about damp proof...

    HELLO FROM SURREYGIRL LIVING IN SPAIN

    Hello Everyone, I have joined this site so that I can get advice about a flat that I own in the UK which is suffering from penetrative damp as well as rising damp so I though that I would find a site where there are people who are experienced about damp proofing and damp courses. Looking...
