It is designed to reverse damp in walls and solid floors without anodes, injection, or wiring. Sam shares what he thinks about it, including some of his reservations.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In the UK, it is now quite rare to find classic rising damp. Sam explains why, in the podcast.
• Bridging issues are far more common, in the UK.
• The unit has been developed and used in Spain for many years. In Spain, most buildings do not have a damp course.
• With rising damp, once the wall has dried out you should hack off the spoiled plaster and replaster with the right product.
• The biggest problem the industry has is misdiagnosis. If it is not rising damp a solution for that issue will not solve the customer´s damp problems.

BEST MOMENTS

“I´ve no doubt they have had results with it, that is not what I think is wrong with it.”

“I specifically want to find out more about the “no hacking off of plaster” bit.”
