Before you buy
Is it really rising damp?
Injection cream only stops damp that rises from the ground. Condensation and leaks look similar but need something else. Tick what you can see.
Tick what you can see on the wall
This is a quick guide to the likely cause, not a survey.
Looks like rising damp
These are the usual signs of damp rising from the ground, which is what injection cream treats. Use the calculator above to size the kit for your wall.
Sounds like condensation
Droplets and black mould usually come from moisture in the air, which injection cream won’t stop. Better airflow helps, along with anti-condensation paint and mould wash spray.
Sounds like water getting in
Patches high up that grow after rain point to a leak from outside — check gutters, pointing and the roof first. Injection cream won’t fix this.
Could be more than one cause
The wall shows signs of more than one type of damp. Tell us what you can see and we’ll help you work out the fix.
How to install
A new damp-proof course in six steps
Before you start
Fix any leaking gutters or drains. Take off skirting and wall finishes, and hack off salt-contaminated plaster up to 300 mm above the highest damp mark. Check floor timbers for rot.
- Pick the joint
Choose a mortar bed joint at least 150 mm above the outside ground, or level with a solid inside floor. Inside and outside DPCs should line up.
- Drill the holes
Use the 12 mm SDS bit. Drill level, no more than 100 mm apart, stopping 20 mm short of the wall’s full thickness.
- Clear the dust
Vacuum or blow out every hole so the cream fills it fully.
- Load the gun
Cut the top of the cartridge, fit the nozzle (extend it for thick walls) and load it into the applicator gun.
- Inject from the back
Push the nozzle to the back of the hole and fill as you pull out, stopping about 10 mm from the face.
- Seal each hole
Fill the last 10 mm with mortar or a DPC injection plug, then let the wall dry out before replastering.
