appreciate this comprehensive reply. yep there was a fireplace, ill act upon your suggestions...ive dry lined the rest of the house with plasterboard with insulation on all the outer walls. i didnt do this one because it was too wet! thanks again.

hmmm.... ok, i might be wrong, im not so sure now. ive drilled into the infected area and the wall appears dry under the surface, thats one thing ive learned off those vids... but it still begs the question that if rising damp is a myth, why has nobody noticed injection doesnt work?

hi i have a bad rising damp problem in the corner of my kitchen. ive ensured theres nothing on the outside wall that would account for this, and i tried dryzone but that hasnt fixed the problem. the inside floor is solid and quarry tiled (being 80 years old). as an amateur with the time...
