Anyone got any ideas how to solve a bad damp issue. I have fitted dpc to the front wall inside/outside and then had it injected and it's still damp. Now there's a wall upstairs that's soaking wet. I thought it was rising damp but maybe i've got it wrong ??

???

As far as I know I had a damp problem years ago and was told rising damp can only go up about 1 meter.

If the upper floor is wet it's the roof gutters or facia I would think

Could also be chimney flaunching etc etc. blocked chimneys with no air vents are unlikely but possible

Yeah i checked over a few bits and guttering leaks like a goodin. Also the chimney stack looks like it is in great need of repair. Not sure about going up a ladder to have a look though
