Plaster after damp work

Is that the wall? I thought it was part of the blurb document from the damp people?FreeBear said:That dwarf wall separating the two properties would be my first suspect... But would still check the cavity for debris..I would expect a DPC to be just under the door, so what ever they have injected in to the wall has been done too high to be of any use. Tanking internally without removing the skirting boards was a pointless exercise and still leaves a path for damp to get through.It looks rubbish, either way and isn't an advert for their services at all. You can clearly see the wall is still soaking and the obvious suspect is that dwarf wall or the drain there. The wall shouldn't be wet in the first place .Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Isn't it supposed to be injected at least 150mm above ground level?FreeBear said:That dwarf wall separating the two properties would be my first suspect...

It's a full wall separating the 2 houses not a dwarf wall.Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!0 -

Then I'm confused. In the photo you posted, there's a small wall on the left with what looks like a fence on top of it. How is this a full wall?northwest1965 said: It's a full wall separating the 2 houses not a dwarf wall.0
