Hey everyone,
We own a terraced house built in the 1930's which has some serious damp issues in the front room. Went about taking back the plaster and render to install a DPC. Started hacking away at the wall and reached the original red brick wall. The bricks were felt very damp and the mortar was crumbling and felt wet; almost pasty. Not sure where to go from here.. Was expecting to find a solid mortar course to drill into to inject the DPC but I can basically poke the bit straight through.. Any advice?
