Damp proofing old house but found breeze blocks!
John 08/07/2026 - 7.57 AM
Hi guys! I’m currently re damp proofing a house I’ve just bought, has the survey but decided to do most of the works myself to keep costs down, this consists of injectable damp proof cream throughout and then membrane in the worst areas affected by salt. When removing the plaster I have found there are breeze blocks on one of the walls in the house. This house is built in like 1900 so it’s clearly not original. Obviously the internal render is now nearly impossible to remove but more importantly I don’t think I can inject the DPC in to this can I? I’m not sure how to proceed on this section. Any advice would be great
