Low level damp can be due to bridging of the existing damp proof course (dpc), se how we tackled this property in Selby for a regular customer who owns a string of properties.

It would depend what type of damp it is and construction type

I'm certain they built those properties by building shell, plastering to damp course and then installing the screeds too high, impcated by the asphalt screeds

Blimey Sam not one straight edge or level used when you fixed the plasterboard, the poor kitchen fitter. I would say the damp problem was more likely to be caused by the finlock concrete guttering. If they are not sealed every few years they leak rainwater down the cavity and sometimes down the inner walls, as the concrete bridges the cavity. Maybe change your surveyor Sam :)

That’s a great point about the concrete gutter I didn’t know that , learning every day

Why is a bead of Instastick/Megastick applied at the bottom of the plasterboard in kitchen when bridging is determined as causing damp issues? Won't this promote bridging also?
@dampsam8 ай бұрын
The polyurethane is waterproof as far as bridging is concerned, and it’s to stop any debris getting brushed or pushed under the gap which could cause bridging

Hiya Sam any chance you can do a vid ref a stone wall. Currently I've used your system and its worked well. Bridging is the main problems in most I've encountered. I'm gonna be working on a building built in 1900. Its all stone and about 3ft thick. Before I begin this task doing all the ground floor wondered if I could get some guidance via a vid if possible. Cheers pal, keep up the knowledge sharing from a poor struggling landlord who is willing to have a go.👌

Check for leaking pipes under the floor and make sure it’s not condensation forming on the cold surface too, a liquid damp proof membrane like dry base can be applied on top.

Hi sam, what's your go to if you come across a wall you've hacked off that hasn't got the depth to get even a 9mm board on? I actually have always cut a bridging gap, drill and inject a new chemical DPC and then mesh membraned full height (if the customer is happy to lose the space) and then board using insta stik. But I like your system a lot, although hacking off isn't my favourite thing to do haha.. what's your thoughts?
@dampsam2 жыл бұрын
There are a few ways. I did a video where I just put dryflex on to the brick and skimmed it about 3-5mm because whoever did the work befor just skimmed the bricks.

@dampsam4 жыл бұрын
Hi pal, you would need to google BS8102 which is the standard for below ground construction. There are 3 types of waterproofing, type A,Band C and there is also grades of dryness too. The express system could be used but only after a waterproofing system has been installed.

Brilliant video and very informative .. the first experience I had with foaming the boards to the wall was like you have done in the kitchen in this vid.. is to knock of where needed treat the wall with salt inhibitor and then PVA then k11 slurry and then foam stick the boards . That k11 alone changes the atmosphere in room if it's bigger enough. Iv not done any plastering for a few years through my own choices and the shite tight firm I work far but it seems to have progressed a little .. these vids keep me informed and In touch just in case I decide I want to get back into it . Thanks for the massive efforts in you time in production on your work .

I’ll tell you a secret, the only reason I kept away from Dampproofing pre 2000 was because of the high pressure pump system which was awful to use, I did the replastering after but not the dpc install. As soon as Dryzone came out that changed everything and they have done the same again with this express system..

Not a clue wally, all the usual handy talk pretending you know what your talking about, the fact is you know nothing about Building Sceince. Expensive short term works that in the long term WILL NOT WORK. Its not rising damp/briding issues its simply MOISTURE or as you say or whatever
@MaintenanceENG3 жыл бұрын
But bridging can occur, especially from the bitchmen to the wall. Peter did a video on that already which im sure you have already seen. He already said it wasn't rising damp, so he's not trying to falsely sell a dpc. Condensation is a lot of people's problems but its not in every case.
