A bit of fun looking at different methods of wearing damp and levels of accurately from different instruments from %WME to actual % MC determined in a carbide meter.
The regular surveying companies confirm rising damp and with associated works cost up to £700 per linear metre . As you note this is not a doc problem in most cases. Often it is the specialist render/plaster repair finishes that actually resolve the problem so they get away with it..
Thanks Neil these are brilliant videos, looking forward to further ones on damp. Can i ask, will you be discussing microwave moisture meters? I have read about these somewhere and it is claimed that they are not influenced by any salts in the wall, so in theory they could give a more indicative reading of any damp that is present.
Another great video. Thanks for the content
Thank you
Fantastic as usual
a lot of useful information, thanks!
🙏
Great video! Would have been interesting to see what the readings from the pin probe would have been with the wet brick.

I completely agree. Cover over the issue.

I shall look into these as I’ve not come across them before.
