Schrijver Damp Proofing

[Deleted User]

I'm starting to get some condensation and mould growth in some corners of my property and I am considering the Schrijver system. It looks a very clever Dutch system to prevent damp walls, but it may be expensive, so before I contact them for a survey, I'm just wondering if anyone here had it done and whether they found effective. Any comments would be appreciated.

Google Holland Damproofing:-

Holland damp proofing can not work on a 9 inch wall all you are doing is fitting air bricks there is nothing stoping rising damp from rising
The so called Holland damp proofing system (sometimes referred to as the Schrijver system ) is yet another snake oil system that is pushed by very slick sales presentation in the UK as being the cure-all for damp. Both these companies have been investigated several times by the Advertising Standards Authority, and asked to remove or amend their advertising claims. The ASA stated in 2002 that 'the advertisers had proved neither that the Schrijver System stopped rising damp, nor that it reduced the moisture content caused by penetrating damp, condensation and mould'
