In this video, I show you how I retrofitted a horizontal barrier in my damp basement walls. I show how I installed the injection cream for draining in the bed joints of the masonry and what needs to be taken into account.
In a long-term test, I am testing whether this retrofitted water barrier in the basement walls can stop rising damp in the long term
A horizontal barrier can be used to protect the walls of a house against rising damp. Many older houses have no or only inadequate protection against damp in the walls.
With a retrofitted horizontal barrier, the house walls become watertight. This sustainably improves the climate in the basement rooms.
The injection fluid can be injected into the masonry in various ways. I have already had experience with injection sticks and injecting with a funnel.
In this video, I show you how to correctly apply the injection cream to seal the basement walls.
The injection cream is inserted into the bed joint of the house wall. To do this, locate the bed joint and mark it along its entire length. The distance between the holes is 10 to 12 cm. The depth of the holes is determined by the thickness of the house wall minus 5 cm.
Using a hose and a special cartridge gun, the drill holes are completely filled with the cream for draining.
Finally, the holes are sealed again with restoration plaster or cement mortar.
I record the results in the first 4 weeks and test the injection cream over 12 months. After a year, I will draw a conclusion and show you whether it has worked and whether it is worth installing a subsequent horizontal barrier in the damp house walls yourself.
