Kitchen wall has rising damp.


Make sure you need to do this. You may find it just as effective to dig away
the earth from the wall and pour in some gravel. What are the exact symptoms
you are getting?


Also check for things like broken guttering outside as this can cause
damp problems, especially on walls with no cavity.
