DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits

Health & Safety Recommendations

Read the product label and Safety Data Sheet before use and follow all local site safety rules. Wear suitable gloves, eye protection and workwear, and avoid prolonged skin contact. Provide adequate ventilation, particularly when working in cellars, basements or other confined areas, and keep the work zone clear of trip hazards, trailing cables and debris.

When drilling, use appropriate dust control measures and respiratory protection, as mortar and masonry dust can be harmful. Use ear protection and ensure safe access along the full treatment line. If working externally, confirm stable footing and safe working distances from openings, neighbouring boundaries and public areas.

This kit is designed for low-pressure injection into masonry using the supplied pump and DPC gel lance. Do not inject into unknown voids, live electrical areas or structurally unsound masonry. If the wall is heavily cracked, unstable, or shows signs of significant movement, these defects should be rectified before treatment. Where the cause of dampness is uncertain, seek competent professional advice prior to specifying or applying any chemical DPC system.

Substrate Suitability

DampSolve Damp Proof Cream is intended for injection into masonry to control rising damp, typically via a mortar bed. It is suitable for most common wall constructions including solid brickwork, blockwork and many stone walls, provided a practical drilling pattern can be created to form continuity across the chosen course.

Cavity walls can be treated where an appropriate drilling and injection strategy is followed and the cavity is clear at the intended DPC level. Random stone and rubble-filled walls require additional care because mortar lines are often irregular and some stones can be porous. In walls thicker than 350mm, drilling from both sides at a corresponding height is commonly required to achieve coverage through the full thickness and to avoid leaving an untreated core.

Walls should be structurally sound and free from severe cracking or movement. Any bridged cavities, rubble cores, heavy contamination, or unusual construction features should be identified before drilling so that the drilling plan, hole depth and treatment continuity can be set correctly.

Drilling Preparation

Start by confirming that rising damp is the moisture mechanism being addressed and remove or reduce external moisture sources that can mimic rising damp. Check and overhaul rainwater goods so gutters and downpipes are clean, sound and discharging correctly. Repair or install drainage to carry surface water away from the building and confirm that external ground levels are not bridging the intended DPC line.

DPC height should be at least 150mm above external ground level wherever practicable. If internal floors are below external ground level, consider lowering external ground locally, or position the new DPC at least 150mm above external ground and tank below it internally to prevent lateral migration of moisture and salts. Internally, remove skirtings, fixings and any render or plaster to expose the selected mortar bed. Salt-contaminated plaster should be removed from the area to be treated to at least 300mm above the highest visible damp mark, or higher where contamination is extensive.

Check low-level timbers for signs of fungal decay and address any defects as part of the overall remedial package. Ensure wall cavities are cleared of debris at the intended DPC level. Plan continuity at corners, chimney breasts, party walls and changes in wall thickness, and provide vertical DPC continuity where ground levels change or where adjoining wall sections will remain untreated.

Drill 12mm diameter holes horizontally in the selected mortar bed at centres no greater than 120mm. Hole depth should be approximately 90% of the wall thickness, adjusted pro rata for intermediate thicknesses. As a practical guide, drill to approximately 100mm for 115mm walls, 210mm for 230mm walls, 320mm for 345mm walls and 430mm for 460mm walls. Where holes become blocked, re-drill immediately prior to injection or drill a new hole nearby to ensure the correct volume is introduced. In walls thicker than 350mm, drilling from both sides at matching heights is typically required to maintain treatment coverage.

Application Method

Open the bucket and transfer the DampSolve cream into the pump chamber, taking care to keep the product clean and free from rubble, dust or debris. Screw the black pump handle assembly tightly onto the chamber so the seal is secure and the unit can hold pressure. Use the black handle to pump and build pressure gradually in accordance with the pump’s normal operating method, avoiding sudden over-pressurisation and keeping the equipment upright and stable throughout use.

Insert the DPC gel lance to the full depth of the drilled hole. Begin injecting and steadily backfill the hole as the lance is withdrawn, aiming to fill each hole fully to within approximately 10mm of the surface. This method places cream from the rear of the hole outwards and helps minimise voids, supporting consistent migration along the mortar bed and continuity of the chemical DPC line.

Work methodically along the selected course, maintaining the same hole spacing, depth and fill level. Particular care is required at corners, returns, reveals and junctions where continuity is most at risk. In cavity wall constructions, ensure the drilling and injection strategy provides full dosing to the intended leaf or leaves, and confirm cavities are clear at the DPC level before treatment to reduce the risk of bridging and loss of performance.

Wipe away spills immediately and dispose of contaminated wipes appropriately. Where cream contacts non-target surfaces, cleaning straight away is best practice to maintain a tidy finish, even though the product may dry with minimal visible effect on some materials.

Coverage

Coverage depends on wall thickness, drill spacing, hole depth and substrate type. For accurate planning and ordering, refer to the coverage table below, which should be based on 12mm holes at centres up to 120mm and a target hole depth of approximately 90% of wall thickness.

If masonry is unusually porous, irregular, thicker than expected, or requires drilling from both sides, additional material should be allowed for to maintain continuity.

Curing Time

DampSolve forms its hydrophobic barrier as it migrates and cures within the masonry. Final cure typically takes 2 to 6 weeks depending on wall thickness, substrate porosity, initial moisture load, temperature and ventilation. Walls may remain damp for a period after installation, particularly where hygroscopic salts are present or where the wall has been saturated for a long time.

Allow treated walls to dry for as long as practicable before replastering. A minimum waiting period of 14 days is commonly recommended before commencing salt management and replastering, but longer drying times are beneficial where the programme allows. Stable background heat and good ventilation will support drying and help achieve better final outcomes.

Finishing

Externally, drill holes can be finished by re-pointing with a matching sand and cement mortar to blend with existing masonry and provide a robust weather-resistant finish. Alternatively, Universal DPC Injection Plugs can be used to close and tidy holes neatly, selecting the closest colour to suit the wall finish and creating a consistent, clean appearance along the treated course.

Internally, holes can be finished in line with the chosen replastering detail. They may be left open where the replastering specification stops short of the DPC line, or they can be filled as part of making good prior to final decoration. Any finishing approach should avoid bridging the DPC line and should maintain a consistent DPC height relative to external ground levels and internal floor build-ups.

Decoration

Decoration should only take place after the wall has had sufficient time to dry and after salt-contaminated plaster has been addressed correctly. If hygroscopic salts remain, staining and finish failure can occur even when the DPC is functioning. Where replastering is required, use a suitable salt-resistant plaster system such as Wykamol Renovation Plaster or Wykamol Renderproof in accordance with an appropriate specification.

Do not redecorate too early. Allow new plaster systems to cure and dry as directed by the plaster manufacturer, and use breathable finishes where specified. Avoid impermeable wall coverings and coatings that can trap residual moisture unless the wall system has been designed for that purpose.

Cleaning

Clean spillages immediately. Wash contaminated surfaces promptly with warm soapy water. Keep the lance exterior and pump outlet area clean during use to avoid build-up and to maintain smooth injection. Once cured, residues are difficult to remove and may require mechanical removal from tools or surfaces.

After use, release pressure from the pump in a safe, controlled manner and follow the pump manufacturer’s normal cleaning and maintenance guidance. Empty the chamber as appropriate and prevent cream from curing within the lance or delivery path. Dispose of empty containers, contaminated wipes and waste material responsibly in accordance with local regulations.

Limitations

DampSolve Damp Proof Cream is designed to control rising damp by forming a chemical DPC barrier, but it does not resolve other damp mechanisms such as penetrating damp, leaks, condensation, or lateral moisture ingress below ground level. Bridging of the DPC by external ground, internal screeds, render, debris in cavities, plaster taken below DPC level, or inconsistent treatment at junctions can compromise performance and must be addressed.

Walls heavily contaminated with hygroscopic salts often require removal and replacement of affected plaster. Without proper salt management, staining and a damp appearance can persist even after the DPC is installed. In very thick walls, highly irregular masonry, rubble cores, or where access is only possible from one side, drilling strategy may need adjustment and drilling from both sides is often required to achieve effective coverage.

Other Information

Plan the full treatment line before drilling, including corners, party walls, chimney breasts, changes in ground level and adjoining structures. Provide vertical DPC continuity where required to connect horizontal DPC lines and isolate untreated wall sections. Keep the DPC height at least 150mm above external ground level wherever feasible, and as close to internal floor level as practical where solid floors are present.

If wall construction is uncertain, establish whether it is solid, cavity, rubble-filled or unusually thick before drilling so hole depths and drilling strategy are correct. Rising damp control works best as part of a complete remedial package that includes moisture source control, correct DPC placement, salt management, and appropriate replastering and decoration, carried out in accordance with BS6576:2005 good practice.

Q) What are DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits, and what problem do they solve?
A) DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits are designed to control rising damp in masonry by installing an in-situ chemical damp proof course within a selected mortar bed. Rising damp is moisture drawn up from the ground through capillaries in brick, block and mortar, often causing salt deposits, blown plaster, decayed skirtings and persistent low-level staining. The kit combines DampSolve silane-based cream with a Selecta 7 injection pump so the cream can be dosed consistently into 12mm drilled holes along the mortar course. Once injected, it migrates through the pore structure, transitions towards a more fluid phase and cures to form a hydrophobic barrier. This reduces further capillary moisture movement and supports progressive drying when bridging and salt issues are managed.

Q) What is included in DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits are supplied as a high-output kit for longer wall runs and regular remedial work. Each kit provides DampSolve silane-based DPC cream in a 5L tub plus a Selecta 7 DPC Injection Pump for controlled, low-pressure dosing using a pump-and-lance method. The kit also includes the correct 12mm x 260mm SDS drill bit set-up, allowing clean drilling of injection holes in typical mortar beds and common UK masonry. The aim is to improve productivity by reducing cartridge changeovers and maintaining a steady injection rhythm across multi-room perimeters and large elevations. The components are intended to support consistent hole filling, continuity along the chosen mortar course, and tidy handling on site, particularly where speed and repeatability are important.

Q) How does DampSolve Damp Proof Cream create a chemical DPC inside the wall?

A) DampSolve forms a chemical damp proof course by treating the mortar bed and adjacent pore structure where moisture rises. The cream is injected into a line of drilled holes and remains workable for controlled placement, then migrates into the surrounding pores. As it transitions towards a more fluid phase, it spreads laterally through the joint network and passivates across the mortar bed. During curing, the silane chemistry forms a hydrophobic zone that repels liquid water, restricting capillary rise from the ground. Because the barrier forms within the wall rather than on the surface, continuity is crucial. Correct drill spacing, correct depth, full backfilling and careful treatment at corners, returns, chimney breasts and junctions all help prevent weak spots where moisture could bypass the treated line.

Q) When are DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits a better choice than cartridge kits?

A) DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits are usually the better choice when the job involves long wall runs, multi-room ground-floor perimeters, repeated remedial work, or multiple properties where cartridge application becomes inefficient. The pump-and-bucket format reduces time lost to frequent cartridge changes and helps maintain a consistent injection pace, which is useful on large elevations and continuous internal runs. It can also be helpful on thicker or mixed masonry where steady dosing and consistent backfilling matter to maintain continuity. Cartridge kits often suit shorter runs and isolated patches, but productivity drops when the treatment length increases. The same fundamentals still apply: correct diagnosis, correct DPC height, disciplined drilling and injection, and appropriate salt management in internal finishes. The kit format improves workflow, but it does not replace the need for a correct overall rising damp specification.

Q) Where in a property are DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits typically used?

A) DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits are typically used in ground-floor masonry walls where rising damp has been identified, especially where long treatment lines make pump application more efficient. Common locations include external perimeter walls, internal loadbearing walls, party walls, hallways, front rooms, dining rooms, and areas around chimney breasts where damp symptoms are concentrated at low level. These kits are also suited to refurbishment programmes where plaster is being stripped and replaced, making access and continuity detailing easier to achieve. The injection line is installed in a selected mortar bed, positioned to avoid bridging and planned to run unbroken through corners, returns and junctions. They can be used internally or externally, provided the chosen DPC height makes sense relative to external ground levels and internal floor build-ups, and provided other moisture sources are addressed.

Q) Which wall types can be treated with DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits are suited to many common UK masonry walls where a practical drilling line can be formed along a mortar bed. This includes solid brickwork, blockwork, cavity wall leaves and many stone constructions, subject to sensible assessment of mortar condition and wall stability. Cavity walls can be treated where the injection strategy properly addresses the relevant leaf or both leaves as required and where debris at DPC level is not bridging the cavity. Mixed masonry and older walls can be treated, but drilling layout must be planned carefully to maintain continuity around irregular bedding and junctions. Random stone and rubble-filled walls may need adapted drilling positions because mortar lines can be inconsistent. Very thick walls often require drilling and injecting from both sides at the same height to achieve reliable distribution through the full thickness.

Q) How do I confirm damp is rising damp before using DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) A rising damp diagnosis is important because chemical DPC treatment targets capillary moisture rise, not every form of dampness. Rising damp typically shows as low-level dampness with salts, tide marks, plaster breakdown and decay of skirtings near the floor. However, similar symptoms can be caused by penetrating damp from leaking gutters, downpipes, poor pointing, cracked render, defective drainage or high external ground levels, and by condensation in colder, poorly ventilated rooms. A good pre-check includes inspecting rainwater goods, external defects, plumbing leaks, ventilation patterns and whether damp worsens after rainfall. Bridging should also be checked, such as paving, render or internal screeds bypassing the DPC level. If the cause is uncertain, treatment planning should be based on a proper survey rather than assumptions, because treating the wrong mechanism leads to poor outcomes.

Q) Where should the DPC line be set for DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) The DPC line should be positioned to prevent bridging and to intercept moisture rise at the correct level. A common good-practice target is at least 150mm above external ground level wherever feasible. Internally, the line is often set as close to finished floor level as practical, particularly with solid floors, provided external ground and detailing do not create bridging. Where internal floors are below external ground, the DPC height choice becomes more critical because lateral moisture risk below the DPC can affect finishes. Whatever height is chosen, continuity matters most. The line should be planned to run unbroken through corners, returns, party wall junctions, chimney breasts and changes in wall thickness. Gaps, level changes and missed junction detailing can allow moisture to bypass the treated course, so marking and planning before drilling usually improves the final result.

Q) What drilling pattern is recommended for DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) The typical drilling pattern for DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits is 12mm diameter holes drilled along the selected mortar bed at centres not exceeding 120mm. Consistent centres help ensure the treated zones overlap so a continuous barrier can form along the course. Hole depth is usually set at around 90% of the wall thickness, which helps the cream treat most of the wall without breaking through. The drill line should be level and follow one mortar bed as continuously as possible, including through corners and returns. In irregular masonry, drilling positions should be chosen to maintain continuity through the joint network rather than chasing perfect straightness. After drilling, clearing dust from the holes helps injection remain smooth and reduces the chance of blockages that can lead to short-filling and weak spots in the treatment line.

Q) How deep should holes be drilled for DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) Hole depth is commonly around 90% of the wall thickness, with the aim of treating most of the wall section while avoiding break-through and loss of material. As practical examples, 115mm walls are often drilled to around 100mm, 230mm walls to around 210mm, 345mm walls to around 320mm, and 460mm walls to around 430mm, with intermediate thicknesses calculated proportionally. Depth control matters because shallow drilling can reduce treatment effectiveness, while drilling through can cause uneven dosing and mess. Older mortar can be weak and holes can collapse or block, so re-drilling or adding an adjacent hole at the same height may be needed to maintain continuity. Very thick walls may need drilling and injection from both sides at the same height to achieve reliable distribution through the full thickness and avoid leaving an untreated core.

Q) How is the Selecta 7 pump used correctly with DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) Correct pump use is mainly about clean loading, stable pressure and consistent backfilling. Transfer the DampSolve cream into the pump chamber carefully to avoid introducing dust and rubble that could restrict flow. Secure the pump assembly so it seals properly, then build pressure gradually until a steady output is achieved. Insert the injection lance to the full depth of the drilled hole and inject while withdrawing slowly so the hole is filled from the rear outwards. Aim to fill each hole to within about 10mm of the surface for consistent dosing along the line. Maintain a steady rhythm, re-pressurising as needed to keep output consistent rather than forcing erratic flow. Work methodically so holes are not missed, especially at corners and junctions. Keeping the lance clean and clearing drilling dust from holes helps reduce blockages and supports uniform filling.

Q) Can DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits be used on cavity walls?

A) DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits can be used on cavity walls, but success depends on the treatment strategy and on avoiding bridging. A common approach is to treat each leaf separately at the same height, drilling and injecting the correct pattern in the leaf or leaves that require treatment. Debris in cavities at DPC level can bridge the barrier and allow moisture transfer, so cavity condition matters. Continuity detailing is also important around openings, corners and party wall junctions where treatment lines can easily become discontinuous. Bridging by external render, internal plaster or internal floor screeds can also bypass the treated mortar bed even when injection is done correctly. With careful planning, correct drilling and full dosing, cavity wall treatments can reduce capillary rise and support long-term stability of internal finishes, especially when salt management and finish detailing are handled properly.

Q) Do DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits work on thick walls and older masonry?

A) DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits can be effective on thick walls and older masonry, but drilling strategy must match the construction. Older walls may have variable mortar quality, irregular bedding and voids that make drilling and injection less predictable if rushed. Maintaining correct spacing, clearing dust, and ensuring every hole is fully backfilled helps preserve continuity. Thick walls can be difficult to treat thoroughly from one side, so drilling and injecting from both sides at the same height is often required to achieve reliable coverage through the full thickness. Random stone and rubble-filled walls may need adapted drilling positions because mortar courses can be uneven. The pump format supports a steady workflow on large areas, but it does not remove the need for careful planning at corners, returns and junctions. Effective results also depend on bridging control and correct management of salts in internal finishes.

Q) How long does DampSolve take to cure, and how long will walls take to dry after treatment?

A) DampSolve typically reaches final cure within around 2 to 6 weeks, depending on wall thickness, moisture load, porosity, temperature and ventilation. During this period the cream migrates into the pore structure and cures to form the hydrophobic barrier. Wall drying takes longer than chemical cure because moisture stored in masonry above the DPC line needs time to evaporate, and salts can hold moisture in finishes even as moisture movement is reduced. Drying speed depends on thickness, heating and airflow, and it is often slower in cold, poorly ventilated properties. Visible improvement is usually progressive rather than immediate. If salt-contaminated plaster remains, staining and a damp appearance can persist despite a functioning DPC. Allowing sensible drying time and pairing treatment with salt-resistant replastering where needed helps produce more reliable long-term visual and practical results.

Q) Why is salt-resistant replastering recommended after DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) Salt-resistant replastering is recommended because rising damp often leaves hygroscopic salts in old plaster that continue attracting moisture from the air. Even after DampSolve reduces capillary moisture movement within the wall, these salts can still cause staining, powdering, blistered paint and premature finish failure. Removing contaminated plaster reduces the risk of ongoing cosmetic damp symptoms that can make a successful DPC look ineffective. A typical approach is to strip affected plaster to at least 300mm above the highest visible sign of dampness, then reinstate using a salt-resistant system such as Wykamol Renovation Plaster or Wykamol Renderproof. This isolates salts, provides a stable base for decoration and helps the wall’s drying progress translate into a better internal finish. Skipping salt management is one of the most common causes of recurring staining and repeated decoration problems after treatment.

Q) When can redecorating be carried out after DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits are installed?

A) Redecorating should be planned around wall drying and the curing requirements of any replastering system. Even if DampSolve forms its hydrophobic barrier within weeks, the wall above the DPC can remain damp for longer, particularly in thick masonry or where saturation has been long-term. If contaminated plaster is removed and replaced, decoration should only start once the new plaster has cured and dried fully in line with its guidance. Breathable finishes are often preferable during drying because they allow moisture vapour to escape more readily, whereas impermeable coatings and vinyl wall coverings can trap moisture and slow progress. Redecorating too early is a common cause of staining and failure, especially where salts remain. A reliable sequence is injection, allow drying time, replaster with a salt-resistant specification where required, then decorate once backgrounds are stable and adequately dry.

Q) How much coverage do DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits provide?

A) Coverage depends on wall thickness, hole spacing and hole depth, so it is best considered in linear metres rather than room size. The usual approach is 12mm holes at up to 120mm centres drilled to around 90% of the wall thickness, which means thicker walls consume more cream per metre. Irregular masonry, friable mortar and blocked holes can increase consumption because additional drilling or re-dosing may be needed to maintain continuity. Corners, returns, chimney breasts and internal partitions are often missed in rough estimates, so include them in measurements. The 5L format improves productivity on longer runs, but it does not change the fundamental relationship between thickness and material usage. For dependable planning, measure each wall run, identify thicknesses, allow for junction detailing, and include a sensible margin for site variables and any areas where drilling strategy needs adjustment.

Q) What are the best on-site tips for reliable results with DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) Reliable results come from preparation, disciplined drilling and consistent injection. First, address external defects that mimic rising damp, such as leaking gutters, poor drainage, cracked render, defective pointing and high ground levels. Second, plan and mark a continuous DPC line through corners, returns and junctions before drilling. Drill clean 12mm holes at consistent centres, keep depths correct, and clear dust from every hole to reduce blockages. During injection, backfill from the rear outwards by withdrawing the lance steadily and aim for consistent fill levels to within about 10mm of the face. Work methodically so no holes are missed, especially at reveals and chimney breasts. Finally, manage salts properly by removing contaminated plaster and reinstating with a salt-resistant system where required, as salts can keep finishes looking damp even after moisture movement is controlled.

Q) What are the main limitations of DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits are designed to control rising damp by forming a chemical DPC barrier, but they do not solve every damp problem. They will not resolve penetrating damp from external defects, leaking services, roof issues, cracked render, or poor pointing, and they do not fix condensation caused by humidity and inadequate ventilation. Performance can also be compromised by bridging, such as raised external ground, internal screeds, plaster taken below the DPC line, render bridging, or debris bridging cavities. Another limitation is salt persistence: if salt-contaminated plaster is not removed and replaced appropriately, staining and a damp appearance can continue even when the DPC is functioning. Very thick, irregular or rubble-filled walls may require drilling from both sides and careful drilling layout to achieve continuity, and poor workmanship at corners and junctions can create bypass routes.

Q) What safety precautions should be followed when using DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) Safety involves both drilling controls and careful handling of materials and equipment. Wear suitable gloves, eye protection and protective workwear, and use respiratory protection when drilling because masonry dust can be hazardous. Hearing protection is sensible when using SDS drills, especially on long runs. Provide good ventilation in enclosed areas, control dust to reduce spread in occupied spaces, and keep the work area tidy to prevent trips, particularly around pump equipment and hoses. Check for hidden services before drilling, including cables and pipework, and avoid drilling into unknown voids. During injection, avoid skin and eye contact and clean splashes promptly with soap and water. Keep materials away from children and food preparation areas. Avoid injecting into unstable or severely cracked masonry until structural issues are addressed, and maintain safe access along the full treatment line.

Q) How should the pump and equipment be cleaned after using DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits?

A) Cleaning is best done promptly so residue does not build up and restrict flow on future use. Keep the lance clean during work, especially if drilling dust is present, as dust can contribute to blockages and inconsistent injection. Wipe cream from external surfaces as it occurs and wash accidental contamination on suitable surfaces with warm soapy water. Once the injection run is complete, release pressure from the pump safely and empty remaining product from the chamber as appropriate for the job. Clean the chamber, outlet and lance so cream is not left to cure within the delivery path, as cured residues can be difficult to remove and may damage output consistency. Store the equipment clean and dry so seals and moving parts remain in good condition. Good housekeeping on site reduces cleanup effort and helps maintain consistent dosing performance on the next treatment line.

Q) How should DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits be stored, and what conditions affect performance?

A) Store DampSolve Damp Proof Cream - 5 Litre Kits in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and temperature extremes, keeping the tub sealed when not in use. On site, performance is influenced by the practicality of maintaining the correct drilling and injection pattern, the moisture condition of the wall, and environmental conditions that affect curing and drying. Avoid working where masonry is frozen or where holes cannot be drilled cleanly and kept open, as blocked holes and poor continuity increase risk of weak spots. Ventilation and stable background heat are important after installation because drying depends on evaporation from masonry above the DPC line. Treat the kit as part of a system: correct DPC height, bridging control, consistent drilling and backfilling, plus salt management through suitable replastering where required. Good storage protects the product, but good site method protects the result.
