Lateral damp is treated by "tanking" - that is, stripping the plaster off the bricks - applying PRO-STRUCT, a patented cementitious waterproofing system that creates a waterproof barrier which can resist high water pressures on either the negative or positive sides of a wall, to the bare bricks to prevent damp penetration and plastering with damp repellent cement in combination with silicone injection, where necessary, to ensure the prevention of rising damp.
Flick uses products that have been tested successfully under severe local conditions.
