I currently have a small amount of rising damp and a small amount of what I would call lateral damp coming into my 1890 mid terraced house from a rear garden wall.
I have had different advice off builders/damp proof specialists on the best way to deal with the damp.
Guy number 1 wants to inject chemical damp proof course, strip back to brick and render/plaster with required chemicals to prevent salts coming through,etc.
Guy number 2 wants to strip back to brick in both cases of damp and use plastic membrane to contain damp followed by plasterboarding. Guy number 2 is significantly cheaper and will not use a damp proof course stop the damp coming into the house.
Any experts on here with a suggestion to what is the best way to treat damp?
Thanks.
