More clients, revised prices or a new service: three growth levers for a construction business. Why rising damp treatment is one of the easiest to add.

Behind a lining fixed over masonry that draws water up from the ground, boards fail from the bottom. The plasterer's method: open the wall, treat it, let it dry, then line it back up on a frame.

Damp proofing without injection remains entirely possible. However, the methods differ a lot. Here is what exists beyond resin injection.

A wall drying device acts on the water held inside the masonry. The right model depends on distance, power supply and wall construction.

Resin injection and a polarity inverter both target rising damp. However, one builds a barrier while the other acts on the water.

Read the tide mark, move the furniture, air the room properly, then treat the masonry: the order that works on damp bedroom walls.
