Hi everyone this is my first post
I bought a end terrace house six years ago when I boughtthe house it had black paint/tar painted on the end terrace external wall, andever since I've owned it I have had problems with damp on all the gable endinternal walls.
Two years ago I had the damp internal walls taken back tothe brick and rendered, but the damp has come back. The house has been reslatedand I'm in the process of having the front and gable sandblasted and pointedwith two coats of silicone sealant spayed on both blasted walls.
I think its penetrating damp although I'm not sure, and Iam going to knock the render off the walls again and I'm thinking about puttingmesh membrane on the walls and finishing it off with bonding.
One other thing I'm having the wall cavity filled withinsulation, I've looked at other post regarding damp walls and finding wherethe water is getting in, but after all the work I've had done and having doneI'm struggling to find where the water is getting in.
Am I doing the right thing regarding the membrane on theinternal walls.
Thanks in advance.
Peter
