Silocone injection damp proofing effective?

Does anyone know if silicone injection damp-proofing is effective? Ihave what appears to be rising damp along the two walls of a room inmy 1900-built house. (The damp can be detected up to about 4 feetabove the floor). I suppose it could also be damp penetrating throughfrom the outside skin of the cavity wall, if the cavity has somedebris in it. Due to the 104-yr old age of the house, I guess it wasbuilt with a slate damp-prroof course if anything. Would siliconeinjection likely cure it - and if so, how long for?If it is effective, can anyone ecommend a cost-effective place to hirethe gear from and where to buy the liquid? Any tips on actualapplication?Thank youJake
