Damp Proofing Experts

Damp in our homes can manifest in various ways with a multitude of provisions that can eradicate the problem. Damp can form from Condensation, Rising Damp, Penetrative Damp and Damp from underground.

What is Rising Damp?

Rising damp is a form of dampness that occurs, particularly in older buildings, when groundwater rises up through walls, floors and masonry via capillary action, which is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces in opposition to gravity. In simple terms, the water rises up the wall of a building in the same way that oil rises up through the wick of a lamp using small continuous pores in a material. Bricks and mortar can be very porous and contain many fine capillaries, through which water can rise.

Do I have Rising Damp?

The most common visual symptom of rising damp is a clearly defined band of dampness, starting from the floor upwards – often causing paint to flake or wallpaper to peel. However damp walls, caused by rising damp, can also result in a wide range of other symptoms including:

  • Damp smells or a musty odour
  • Reduced temperature at the lower portion of the wall
  • Rotting of embedded floor timbers
  • Crumbling or blistered plaster due salt crystallisation

Walls affected by rising damp are also often contaminated with salts that mean it is not possible to just replaster and hope the problem will go away.
