dampin is a big subject mate, used to work for a firm, more to it that drillin an injecting, you need to know youre stuff...that said, its not rocket science, anyone reasonably switched on can get their head round it, approach one of the chemical companies such as triton (not the shower people) find there site and you should be able to apply for their course, then you get registered, then you can offer guarantees...good thing to get into...think woodworm, dryrot, wetrot, tanking, floor/groundlevels, structures (cavity, solid 9, stone..always older buildings innit), bridging dpcf (very common, easy money), chemical dpm (synthaproof, trimol (very good stuff)), french drains...
dont even need an injection pump these days, garden sprayer and injection gel...

go for it mate...dont forget condensation...heres a tip...you come across black spot mould...usually condensation (no ventilation) NOT rising damp, easily treatable, see salts on the wall - usually damp at low level, leakly gutter/chimney breast/flashing at high level...
