Damp proofing?

Hi, our damp proof membrane has deterioted on our 1970's house, what products are on the market and how do I repair/replace it on all 3 sides of an end terrace house.

Best to get an expert to confirm the diagnosis. Causes of damp are not always "rising damp" - Can be bridged damp proof course, rainwater goods, leaks, condensation etc.

If you do decide to do yourself and does need a new damp proof course then easy method is to inject new dpc using a dpc cream injection system - plenty about these days - start off here: www.i-sells.co.uk/dpc-cream

damp proofing is specialized so get the experts in and get a 25-30 year worry free guarantee ,that can be transferred if you sell house ,do it your self then start worrying what you may have missed.
