    Hi Sam, it seems very strange that the "rising damp" has a clear cut-off height-practically a perfectly straight line-with a salt band on all the walls that have had recent "damp work" done. Why has the "rising damp" not progressed above the plasterboard and into the older solid wall? Couldn't this be a case of the recently fitted gypsum plasterboard salts reacting with moisture/condensation in the room?

      I’m not sure I understand your question, is it regarding general rising damp or the video?

    I want to thank you Sam. I’ve been a plasterer for 20 years and never been interested in damp stuff, i turn the jobs down, but after watching you for the last couple of months you’ve changed my mind. Booked on my pca course next month so I can start watching those pounds raining down soon. ❤

    Hi Sam.
    Very interesting. Grateful for the advice on having a specific damp and timber surveyor.
    We are purchasing a property in London and have a damp issue under the stairs on a party wall. Neighbour says they havnt any damp on there side.
    Any good surveyors you would recommend down our way.
    Also a good link to good push pull fans would be great if you could recommend?

    Very interesting indeed and looks identical to my own house with a salt band along nearly every internal solid wall (solid floors). What is the best way to solve this - drill and inject and then dry line? Thanks

      It needs hacking off to the correct height and doing properly

    Hi Sam.ive watched a few of your video's based on damp issues.There clearly need to draft up certified damp training courses given across the uk to qualified plasterers to really get these problems 100% eliminated as its a ongoing common problem that we see over and over again throughout the uk.

      I agree there should be something that’s a relevant qualification at a reasonable price nationwide recognised

    I was with you until you started talking about more dpc etc.
    This poor little house needs to have all the modern rubbish ripped out and the outside ground levels lowered.

      Care to expand on exactly which part is nonsense and why you think so?
      Far too many people being sold imaginary solutions that mask problems, or make them worse, rather than offer an actual solution and cure the core issue.

      Iv not got any specific surveyors in London who I know but try your luck with a postcode search on the pCA website. Have a look at the Flux HR by Elta, I’ll be doing an unboxing vid on it soon

      DO NOT GET A PCA SURVEY. They will always recommend a chemical damp proof course. It's a scam. Google Peter Ward damp on RUclips, a proper surveyor
