Hi lads went to look at a job today the customer thinks it's rising damp.
He said every morning there's wet marks on the wall & sometimes in different places also different patterns :RpS_unsure:
It's a gable end wall leading onto an alleyway so no neighbours leaky pipes or broken gutterings.
Also I noticed a strong smell in the area :RpS_unsure:


thanks in advance for the replys :-)


Oh & how much should I charge?
He wants the internal plaster hacked off rendered & skimmed also an Airbrick installed. :-)

So do you think Prince Albert may of had a wazz there :RpS_confused:
 
The blue brick damp course is to high marra:RpS_thumbup:

Its more than just hacking off internals, thats a demolition job:RpS_scared:




Kerr......chiiiiinng:RpS_biggrin:
 
seen them like this before. when you get a wall that goes all the way to the floor you're always going to get problems. to be safe i would suggest the customer uses the snieder system, airbricks (same thing), chemical injection, dryzone injection, and tanking. and dehumidifier.
 
inject, tank, membrane, insulate, membrane, air brick & blue brick...............................Jobs a goodun........................:RpS_thumbup:
 
Replaster with bonding scratch coat, hardwall floating coat skimmed with limelight high impact finish.

The he limelight helps it breath and dry out.
 
Well i popped back today for some more pics & just as I walked round corner saw this! :-0

The customers only got someone else looking at the job aswell ffs! :RpS_mad: I caught him with his damp meter out checking the wall :-0
Well I didn't wait for him to turn round & see me so I fcuked off & the customer can get fcuked aswell, no loyalty these customers ffs! :RpS_cursing:
