Rising Damp? Damp proof course?

The client had a damp proof course installed after being told that their property did not have a damp proof course due to its age. A tiny bit of effort and a little bit of knowledge was all that was needed to prove otherwise.

Good lad. Very Honest of you. Not many about like that now. I don't know how these people can go home on a night and be comfortable that they are ripping people off

Cheers rozzer, I appreciate your comments. 👍

Could you help me with my problem. I’ve had ‘damp specialists’ tell me my internal partition wall has rising damp in it and that it needs injections and rerendering/replastering. My question is how can an internal partition wall be having rising damp? The front elevation wall has no signs of damp. However, the rear elevation has penetration damp due to a high ground level (we are losing the ground level to resolve this and then replastering the wall). Could the internal partition wall (pre-1865 house) just be having a condensation issue? And would a condensation issue be more apparent towards the bottom of the wall (heat sink? Colder near ground?)

[@Mr_Sh1tcoin]

Yes. It's almost always condensation if it's not penetrating damp or an apparent leak

[@Recessio]

Condensation, or a leaking pipe or collapsed sewer underneath?

[@lukemoxham2869]

Surely if there was no dpc, the height if the chemical dpc needs to take into account the internal ffl, well more so in a solid brick wall.

[@Mr27363]

Absolutely Luke. 👍
