Learn how to dry your basement walls effectively with this DIY injection cream guide! In this video, I show you how I tackled rising damp in my old 1900s home by installing a horizontal barrier using injection cream. Follow along as I demonstrate the entire process—from measuring wall moisture and drilling precise holes to successfully applying the injection cream with a cartridge gun. Whether you're dealing with moisture damage, peeling paint, or efflorescence in your basement, this method can make your walls livable again.
Key highlights in this video: ✅ Step-by-step guide to using injection cream for moisture control ✅ How to measure wall moisture with a reliable moisture meter ✅ Tips for drilling into thick masonry walls for precise application ✅ Results and insights after 2–4 weeks of drying progress
I also discuss the challenges of working with damp walls, share my initial results, and compare moisture levels before and after installation. Using easy-to-find tools and materials, including ready-to-use repair mortar, you can achieve professional results at home.
