More damp proofing

 While we were waiting for the return of the company to return and carry out the last stage of the installation, I decided to carry out some damp proofing of the chimney area as the walls either side suffered with damp I felt it a good idea to seal it while there was time.

With all the damp injection cream in it needed time to absorb into the cement before the fire place install in a week 

More damp treatment

Well I got over to the house this evening ani I decided the outer wall in the hall needed damp proofing as a precaution. I drilled out the holes under the stairs and in front then filled the holes with the injection cream.

You can see the white cream filling the 12mm holes I have drilled to help seal the cement joints between the bricks and above the damp course.

The damp issue

Ok now rising damp I don't know much about it but it ruins the walls and the plaster on them.

Time to research the damp issue, I found this video about rising damp and how to treat it.


This is where I purchased the damp cream the cheapest at the time.
