    I really wouldn't bother with the dryzone stuff. You may well cause more issues. Do the other remedials and see if that cures it.

    Hi all,

    Quick update. As we needed the living room plastering anyway ive taken the chance to pull off all the plaster back to brick on the offending wall.

    I bought the dryzone to give it a try anyway as after speaking with the plasterer he uses this also and swears by it... and aslong as my total spend is less than what the Damp man quoted and ive learned something im happy :)

    On the above photo which layer would you suggest starting the injection ? reading up im guessing at the top of the half brick from the floor. but also you can see there are a lot of gaps in the bricks in the corner nothing holding those in place at all . im guessing i need to get this sorted before injecting ?

    Also , can anyone shed a bit of lights into what this is :
