- Have you ever wondered how to drill and inject a damp proof course (DPC), watch our short how to video filmed on site at All Dry Damp Proofing Ltd Offices in Barnsley in between Leeds and Sheffield where we are converting the basement into a show room.

great clip cheers for the upload. People should think twice before abusing helpful videos. I've drilled and injected several properties now and roughed with Limelite renovating plaster with no comebacks on any. Saved me literally thousands of pounds.
Luke Boyes it great to hear from people who are having success with the methods, we can only try and explain and if it helps then we are doing something right. We are not tv professional but the methods are what we use every day to provide damp remedial works in thousands of properties, we want to show people how it works and what we do,
Thanks for your support.
No house ever needs a chemical dpc. Find the cause and fix it. Job done
Stephen Gunner you need to find the cause as you said otherwise doing a dpc is a waste of time, could be a simple thing like rad pipe leaking under floorboards or chimney stack needs repairing
Thanks for the video Sam. Am doing this at the weekend. We seem to have damp rising up through a solid ground floor in a terrace. I'm fearful of drilling through pipes etc! But anyway, a couple of questions, it's previously been injected (a long time ago I think) from the outside on the external walls, is it okay to re-drill the holes rather than drilling another set? And is it necessary to plug the holes or will a squeeze of acrylic/silicon sealant in the end do the job? Thank you in advance.
Please make sure your treating rising damp by letting a competent damp specialist surveyor look at it, never use old holes
Hi Sam . Great video . How deep are the holes drilled? Is it half way into the brick . I see this is 7 years old so hope your still in the game . Thanks
Alex
It’s 25mm of the far edge of where your drilling no matter how thick the wall is, don’t go through the other side,
Yes still at it 900 vids later, check out a few of the others 🙏
@@dampsam thanks Sam … after watching lots of CZcams vids and lots of Google’s I got the job done!!!! Good luck mate and thankyou for your help
sam my mates house is rendered on the outside he has a patch of damp about 18 inches up from the ground around 3 foot long can i use dry sticks just on the outside wall just put them 120mm a part for the length of the damp patch or do i need to do the inside to ? thank you sam keep the videos coming
Would you do it on both sides of the house inside and outside
We normally do but we sometimes also drill only from one side 20mm from the far edge. It’s what ever your competent at doing.
Why do these treatments not carry lifetime guarantees....does it mean this kind of damp proofing will eventually degrade and fail?
What product do you know with a lifetime guarante? All products eventually fail for some reason. You could in effect do this but the terms and conditions would make it virtually impossible to claim.
Who’s lifetime the product or the owner? If there are products out there with a lifetime guarantee have a read of the terms and conditions.
why is this option have 50/50 result? 20 year guarantee meaning you going to inject more if it fails? i have a damp and im blown away by the comments.. The surveyor thinks its from the small bush just beside the window for some reason i dont know.. from a home-buyer’s report
Home buyers report is just a general overview they can’t understand the patterns of readings. You need a damp & timber survey by a competent person
Hi Sam i currently run a family home maintenance business and am considering expanding into more damp remedial work and wondered what the better coarses to go on are for me and stsff to be covered
harrogate home maintenance the PCA offer a few different ones but the technicians course sets out the basics in damp and remedial work. I would use this and have a look at there others to see what suits you work. Also which ever manufactures you use will do their own registered users course which are also worth doing to get familiar with the products so contact the reps of either, Safeguard, Sovereign, wykomol, JN, Hydie, Delta, Pam ties, there are quite a few.
There are also lots of info on the manufactures websites and they have technical support for any questions. Thanks for watching, email me if you need any more questions answered 👍
What's the name of this product 🤔
DryZone Cream
All a big money spin con

David Lindsay send us an email if you have any questions and we will gladly answer them
I need someone in leeds. Can anyone recommend anyone, please?
Yes email dampsam@thedampshow.co.uk
How deep do you drill
Depends on the wall thickness but try to stop 20mm off the far edge of the brick
@@dampsam thanks. Im doing it tomorrow
@@dampsam how deep would that be typically?
😁
How does the cream stop damp rising if it’s not pressure injected into the mortar? Just curious. Thanks
Craig Cook its quite technical and is to do with the Masonry pore being lined and this changed the shape of the meniscus from concave to convex, it still allows water vapour to pass though. For more details search on Safeguards site.
Thought it had to be every 4 inches apart.
Maybe pre 1979 before we went decimal
@@dampsam15th February 1971 was the decimal day. 240 Pence or 20 Shillings to the pound, they were the days.😂
Hi Sam, what do you do on solid 9” party wall 👍
It would depend on what type of dampness was affecting the wall
20 years ago this was believed. Now more and more people realise its a huge con
Well everyone has an opinion but to think millions of people are all having meetings to con you is a bit silly isn’t it?
Simon Cooper, you forgot some other letters after your name.
Andrew Brown ok apologies for that
what a con
We respect your opinion, Luke, why is it a con
Hello Sam got some issues with penetrating damp, could you pass me a contact number do that I can use your services thanks
Hi you can contact me via email dampsam@alldrydampproofing.com 👍
WTF are you doing ---that house doesnt have damp and youre in the basement !
Thank you for your comment and keen eye Mikey, there is a sub floor on that wall you might notice the air vent in the film. The oversight in the subfloor is below where we drilled and this wall did not have a dpc with the property being around 100 years old.
Hope this helps explain.
bollocks
harrismagnum04 thanks for taking the time to watch the vid and comment
Yes, I agree. Big hairy ones.
