Did you know that not all damp is rising dampness? One of the most common types is low level dampness caused by bridging. Damp Sam shows you one of the types of bridging from a 1920-30s ex local authority property and tells you why it happens.

Yes your right sam they need to go on site. Ive just done a pca damp and timber tech course . Also i believe technicians need to be actually shown how to install the different systems for damp proofing and actually be then inspected on the instltall before getting any qualifications.

I need to point up some brickwork inside and its where the damp rods will go. can I wet cement them in ? or do I need to let it dry and drill ?

@dampsam 25 дней назад

Just point it no need to wait

Would it not be cheaper to hack off the damp affected plaster at low level, then install a taller skirting board?

@dampsam 2 месяца назад

There is more than one way yes I’m just saying what we did

@KarlJones-x3k 2 месяца назад

Hi Simon, just a quick question once you have hacked out the mortar/plaster from the bottom of the wall will this then solve the bridging issue or do you have to drill in and apply the damp proof rods?

@dampsam 2 месяца назад

We would judge that by how wet the wall was, hack off up to 300mm from last detected signs of dampness and possibly drill and inject the first course above the internal floor level.

So my surveyor Saturday is advertised as independent but also PCA registered. Scratching me head

@dampsam 2 месяца назад

I’m not tarring them all with the same brush, if they have worked in the industry they may be independent and not own a company anymore. It’s always worth asking if they have actually done the work and if they put costs in the report (which they should not) how can they know the prices are accurate given they don’t know the size or overheads of company contractors carrying out work.

@@dampsam basically they are tw property services based in South Wales, PCA registered and independent, their spill is we don't seek work so only give reports on What's necessary. But they do work in conjunction with a damp proof company who are advertised as PCA and they're the guys who gave me his details. If you travelled I'd have paid thee feller.
