    Hi all

    After some reliable tradie recommendations for attacking and rectifying rising damp in an old early 1900's house here in Sydney. Most likely damp proofing job for one side of home required. Anyone had any good experiences that they'd be happy to pass details on?
    Thanks in advance :)

    What size fan did you use and how did you use it, the more information you can will help Jacque. Yes it can resolve damp, and what people believe to be ‘rising damp.’

    It was an SV14 fan plus ventilation kit and I installed it myself in the basement, that's was where the rising damp was coming from.
