Is this rising damp?

[Nisus]

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.

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.

I would recommend CCTV for this job.

Ive just told him what you said he's gonna go with the CCTV hope this helps ill report back soon.

 

[flynnyman]

Well I've just been emailed a still off the CCTV and some dirty ******* has been removing the air brick grrrrrrr

 

[bubbles65]

I would report it to the council mate, there's no hand dryer or anything. No wonder it's damp FFS :-(

Replaster with bonding scratch coat, hardwall floating coat skimmed with limelight high impact finish.

The he limelight helps it breath and dry out.

 

[jesssop]

tompsons water seal will sort that out

 

[Nisus]

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:
