[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 553102, member: 28452"] I successfully used that system myself at my old house. I had a damp internal single leaf wall built of common brick. I hired the pump, drilled lots of holes below floor level and made sure the course of bricks above the old DPC was well saturated with the silicone fluid. It worked OK. I can envisage lots of situations where it wouldn't be effective, such as a bridged cavity, too few holes drilled for a continuous barrier, insufficient fluid injected, injecting the mortar joints instead of the bricks, doing it too high up, such as behind skirting board, etc, but with care it can work.
