Default Damp work

ps.com...

As for as (www.pdoyle.net) goes, I find this comment from an alleged

CSRT
professional surveyor worrying
http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/p...ost?id=1018955


could you explain what you mean?


in early cavity wall houses and after 100 years its common that the

cavity
fills with "crap" at the bottom, bridging the DPC both on the inside and
through to the outside.
You effectively then have no DPC, and no amount of silly cone injection

will
help.
I would have expected a surveyor and anyone who knows anything about

older
houses and damp to have been aware of this.


injected dpcs are not often useful anyway. But what does this have to
do with the page you linked to?


Whoooosh
