Damp proofing DIY

electrospark · 5 Dec 2010

I have a little damp on the walls in the house i'm buying and from what the surveyer has said there is no damp course.
I've seen damp proofing kits on the internet for injecting a resin or silicone into the brickwork.
What are these kits like and do they do the job?

Thanks

You would be better spending your money on an independant survey and will probably be told it's little more than condensation or a leaking gutter.

I've used a resin kit, along with waterproof render on the inside and the combination worked well. I've seen a professional do it and was shocked at how quick, easy (and pricey) it was hence will always do this myself now.

I think you need to be clearer or at least a little more explicit.

"Damp" is the term anyonegives to more wet on the inside than the outside

IE can be condensation, penetrating water/rain or rising damp.

All these need addressing seperately/independantly as the cures are very differrent.

However they are all curable,
