Rising Damp Treatment with Silicone Injection – Bideford

[DRAFT project write-up – awaiting Julian’s approval before going live]

This job in Bideford tackled rising damp on an internal wall inside the property, from the cause right through to the finish.

The problem

Moisture rising up the internal wall had damaged the plaster and was showing as damp patches and staining.

What we did

  1. Removed the damaged plaster to expose the brickwork.
  2. Drilled the mortar course and injected Dryzone silicone damp-proofing cream to form a new damp-proof course.
  3. Replastered the wall using a salt inhibitor and waterproofer, so salts left in the old wall don’t come through and spoil the new plaster.
