Hi,
I've recently paid quite a bit of money to have some walls stripped back to stone and tanked to prevent an issue with damp (I've also dug a French drain in the front to prevent water ingress). After only about 4 weeks I have damp once again coming through in the same places, but I'm not sure if the tanking has been done correctly. The tanking doesn't go fully to the floor, so it strikes me damp could rise on the inside of the tanking - but the builder assured me this was the correct way to do this.
Can anyone advise if this looks right, I'm not sure if I need to have the whole lot done again!

Sorry I think I've put this in the wrong forum and I'm not sure how to move it?
