Does anyone know if silicone injection damp-proofing is effective? I
have what appears to be rising damp along the two walls of a room in
my 1900-built house. (The damp can be detected up to about 4 feet
above the floor). I suppose it could also be damp penetrating through
from the outside skin of the cavity wall, if the cavity has some
debris in it. Due to the 104-yr old age of the house, I guess it was
built with a slate damp-prroof course if anything. Would silicone
injection likely cure it - and if so, how long for?

It IS effective IF the problem is rising damp.
The comparisons between walls that had been injected and those that had
not in my old house was startling.



If it is effective, can anyone ecommend a cost-effective place to hire
the gear from and where to buy the liquid? Any tips on actual
application?


Get the boys in. Its easier.

Thank you
