Old Plaster of a Stone Built Terraced House and Climbing Damp

Rising damp under the staircase was stopped or reduced by hacking off the old plaster. The damp was climbing up through the plaster where the concrete floor did not exist.

However, hacking off the plaster was not a solution for damp on the inside of INSIDE interior walls. The evidence of inside damp is found by drilling into the interior wall and observing the drill tip. 

I would be interested in tried solutions to riisng damp in stone built houses.
