Hello! Can anyone offer some advice on dealing with some damp?
I live in a semi and the side of the house is damp (inside & out) from the ground up to about 300mm. The render outside has cracked so I chopped it all away to investigate. I discovered the old damp proof course in bits. (looks a bit like slate). I have also removed this and left the whole area to dry and now need to do something about it.
My questions are:
1/. Can I simply treat it with something then render over the top? If so what do i treat it with?
2/. How far down will I need to go?
3/. Any other pointers?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
