Rising damp caused by bridging, and concrete along with roots in drain

Every damp survey should be an investigation into the cause before any form of repair is specified. If you don’t know the cause then how can you specify a repair?

This short video takes you through some observations during the survey, along with the repairs necessary to offer a long term solution in getting rid of the rising damp. Whilst I don’t offer free damp surveys, the previous independent damp surveyor charged a chunk of money, and never removed skirting boards, checked the cavity, took any plaster samples, or inspected the drain….What im trying to say is that even if you pay for some damp surveys you might still not get the correct diagnosis.
