Sam explains why, in the podcast.  Bridging issues are far more common, in the UK. The unit has been developed and used in Spain for many years. In Spain, most buildings do not have a damp course. With rising damp, once the wall has dried out you should hack off the spoiled plaster and replaster with the right product. The biggest problem the industry has is misdiagnosis. If it is not rising damp a solution for that issue will not solve the customer´s damp problems.   BEST MOMENTS  “It also has a frequency setting which are just for brick, stone and concrete walls.” “I´ve no doubt they have had results with it, that is not what I think is wrong with it.” “I specifically want to find out more about  the “no hacking off of plaster” bit.”   Do you want to find out why your property is damp, so you can start the process of solving the issue the right way? – Go to Why Do I Have Damp in My Property Damp Sam Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/84911630448/ and upload your photos.   EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.preservationshop.co.uk https://mursec-eco.co.uk/   Express Damp Proofing System - https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/dampsamhnccsrtcssw/list/1ASCOWQPXBIZ9?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_s_ofs_mixed_d Express Damp Proofing course - https://dampsamsdepot.samcart.com/products/the-express-damp-proofing-system-simple-to-follow-on-line-coourse ABOUT THE HOSTSimon Cooper AKA Damp Sam is a time-served plasterer since 1983 and has a HNC in building management.
