Because rising damp can carry with it a range of compounds such as hygroscopic ground salts, chlorides and nitrates, it can break down plaster and ruin internal decorations. Solution In thick stone and brick masonry, and especially rubble-filled walls, Peter Cox can install a remedial damp proof course using their Elektro+ Osmotic System, the very latest in damp proofing technology. This involves introducing a very small positive electrical charge on the wall to repel the rising damp moisture molecules down the walls and back into the ground. The installation causes minimum disturbance to the building, and is ‘reversible’, making it acceptable to leading Conservation and Heritage organisations. No liquid chemicals are used so the wall is quicker to dry out and does not cause problems on party walls. Features & Benefits Minimum disturbance to the building and is reversible Immediately effective Chemical Free Suitable for ALL wall types, especially thick stone walls Can be fitted with a monitoring system for additional reassurance The Elektro+ Osmotic DPC system has been approved by the Property Care Association and carries a 20 year guarantee ELEKTR

Peter Cox Porestop Slurry Waterproofing for wall areas below dpc level e.g. steps in floor level and also for areas of high salt efflorescence, such as chimney breasts. Where plaster has to be renewed, standard plasters such as Carlite should not be used. The DryWall Coating System Instead a DryWall coating must be applied to a height of 300mm above the highest level of salt contamination and to a minimum of one metre above the floor line. The base coat of the DryWall coating system is applied to the prepared wall. This includes a DryWall salt retardant additive. This specification can be supplemented optionally with the application of DryWall Thermotek an externally applied masonry protection cream which both waterproofs and improves the thermal qualities of masonry, to complete the protection. DryWall Top Coat DryWall top coat applied to the base coat. DryWall coating system - min. 12mm thick Bridging Top coat skim plaster - 3mm thick It’s important that the DryWall coating system does not form a ‘bridge’ over the DPC.
