+Howard Gilmour Well the rising damp barrier itself consists of one product, the Crisin 76, the suction angles and capillary rods are really tools for getting the material into the wall in a totally pressureless manner. The suction angles and Crisin cartridges are re-usable, but you do need new capillary rods for each job. Our Koster NB1 is only normally used in situations where the internal floor is lower than the external ground level, In this situation a negative side waterproofing is required to prevent water penetration through the wall below the new horizontal barrier. We do also now produce the Crisin in a cream format, which makes for an easier application in all but the most demanding situations.
If there is no such thing as rising damp, why did an interior wall (in my home) display moisture up to about 3 feet above floor level when it rained, and did so to such a degree that the (previously dry) wall paint became runny? The phenomenon disappeared when there was a spell of dry weather. Incidentally, since the wall had an 'expensive treatment' it has remained consistently dry.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Maybe the wonder liquid evaporated or found cracks and voids to drop down and puddle in? You must never bridge any existing mechanical DPC with render or tanking. You dont form a fillet that allows contact between the solid floor and the wall. The "Tanking Slurry" will drive the moisture up the wall or through the wall to the other side.
+mike gert Dear Mike, The Crisin system is totally pressureless, it can only enter the wall through capillary action and due to the capillary rod system can not drip down into voids. In the case where the external ground level is higher than the internal floor level then ( as is the case in this example) then a sealing slurry has to be installed to tank the area under the DPC where you could have pressurised water ingress. Our Restoration plaster is capillary inactive, so providing that no water pressure is present (as is the case above ground level) then no liquid water can pass through it, however it remains open to water vapour.
Thanks for your question. In theory it could work as the Crisin does not need alkalinity in a wall to activate. It does work with all different types of mortar. However with a mud wall, I really don't know. I am pretty sure the crisis would penetrate and hydrophobe/ block the capillaries, but this could possibly cause other problems. Could the area immediately below the injection become saturated and loose it's structural integrity? I think we would need a lot more information before making any kind of proposal.

soo, how long has this product been on the market? And are there any people in the UK who has used it and what do they say? I live in North London, next to the new river in Harringay ladder. So, I have a damp problem. I am looking into this solution but, how much does it cost, and can I do it myself,( except the testing) and is there any training available? regards.

Wow. Seems like a lot of products!

Probably because you had leaky gutters, leaking rainwater drains or external ground levels too high
Lol... so are you gonna keep hacking off your plaster and redoing it every time it rains Einstein 🤣🤣

Is this availeble in india 's any city .
Thanku
Thanks for the Video
Videos you have uploaded to youtube are absolutely Useful for Engineering students
thanks a lot & Please upload more videos
Does it only work in brick walls or can it be used in mud walls?

what about other countries? Do they sell it to other countries?
Can you tell me where I can but the product? I am in Tyne & Wear UK As i can do the work my self

Did you fix it? Please could you tell me how? Thanks
Probably moved elsewhere 😂
Is it available in Pakistan?
Rana Sahib there are other ways of achieving the same protection, and results
thanks a lot
👍
carry on
Be cheaper to build a new wall
Well that's an option.
