right il try and explain best i can..... ive been to look at the ground floor of a 3 story property(1900apx) where the back wall is undergroud by only a meter its 7.5 meters long by 3, the two end walls are about 5m long and only half is under ground the frount wall is all above ground and leads to another room aprox 4 x4m.
there is damp in the wall which is under ground aprox 1m high x7.5
there is damp aprox 2 meters high in the end walls and the whole external wall and small room has damp floor to ceiling and none of its under ground.
the obvious solution for me is to tank the walls which are under ground which would be the back and end walls where damp, there is evidance of multiple dpc injections where its above ground but its clealy failed so i was thinking about tanking floor to ceiling on the external walls. (tank using soverign k11)
problem beening that im creating alot of expence in mats and the walls arent plumb so alot of work floating with s&c
i considered tanking then dot n dab to reduce labour costs but there would have to be a drying period for s&c,
sovergn suggested using the membrane (eggbox stuff) u fix to wall and install air bricks, then can dot n dab to which i would use floor to lid in small room and floor to lid on external wall then use k11 tanking on the area thats under ground....
basicly... ive neverused this membrane before, is it hard to do? do you think this is the best solution? and what would i charge to install this stuff (aprox 40m) private message prices please..
(externaly the bricks are painted and the pointing is prittys sound, the room has not beened used as a living space for many years, no cavity)
thanks guys
