We completely understand that when it comes to damp proofing, people are looking for the quickest and tidiest solution possible.
However, whilst a damp proof course installation will tackle the root cause of the damp, it won’t get rid of any hygroscopic salts that are already present within the wall.
Making sure that the wall is properly replastered will stop these salts from absorbing more moisture, but it will take a little more time.
We know that you are looking for the fastest possible path to a damp free property, and replastering is the best way to make sure your wall remains damp free whilst showing none of the previous signs of a damp problem.
