Hi
I had a double skin (think that's the right description), breeze block retaining wall put up in my garden last year. It's 5ft high with my new patio at the base on one side and the raised turf for the garden on the other side. The rendering my builder put up on the patio side is just falling off and I've been in an absolute panic over what to do. It looks like he didn't put in a damp proof membrane on the earth side. Can anyone suggest anyway of sorting this out ? The thought of trying to get him out knock down the wall and dig back the earth so that it can all be redone right is massively stressful. Can waterproof membranes be added to the exposed side of the wall - like they do in basements ? Any help massively appreciated as this is such a stressful situation.
