Hi, a wall in my house is partly below ground level and so has, I believe, been tanked. I hope that is the correct term for the ridged brown plastic sheet that has been built into the wall between the damp bricks and the internal plaster. This seems to be working OK in most places but at the bottom the the wall the damp is getting through.
I used a small chisel to get through the surface layer and could see the sheet stopped about an inch above the floor. Once inside the wall it was easy to scoop out the damp sand to see the back of the bricks
It seems obvious to me that something proper should be happening at the bottom of the wall - but What ?
Thanks in advance for any ideas (even whacky ones)
