Has anyone had any experience with this method? It's non invasive so I'm just wondering why it isn't offered as a method of damp proofing after having a damp survey conducted. Thanks in advance.

Every now and then, someone will come up with yey another 'cure-all' for perceived dampness in masonry. Back in the 70s, I worked on re-plastering after a supposed treatment for 'osmosis', i.e. damp creeping up walls. It involved a transformer inducing a potential difference (voltage) in masonry.
At the same time, 'Rentokil' were advocating their 'single wire' system which was supposed to carry unwanted micro-voltages away from walls to earth. Apparently, these voltages attracted damp creep.
It wasn't many years before these money-making treatments lost favour... and credibility.
MOST damp problems are not rising damp. They may, or may not be only a small part of the issue.
And now someone's come up with the latest scheme. 😫
