I have recently bought a 1930s semi detached house. It is only 1 street back from the sea front and I have been lead to believe the water table is quite high in this area. We have started to decorate but have found some damp on the internal wall between our house and the neighbouring property.
I believe the wall is a 9" solid wall. I have had the floor up and can see a small amount of standing water about 60cm under the wooden floor. There appears to have been a chimney removed in this room, but the original DPC which seems to be felt looks to still be in place.
The damp is rising to about 40cm above the level of the suspended wooden floor. I'm considering trying one of the DIY cream injection DPC systems but am wondering if this would be effective or if there is something else I can try.
