What is rising damp?
Rising damp happens when moisture from the ground moves up through walls via capillary attraction. Left untreated this can lead to spoiling of décor, timber decay and higher energy costs due to poor heat retention.
How To Spot Rising Damp in Your Home
Recognising the signs of rising damp is essential to minimise the damage caused and avoid more extensive remedial works. Common visual indicators include damp staining or tidemarks at low level on ground-floor walls, bubbling or flaking paintwork, lifting of wallpaper and/or salt deposits on surfaces.
Longer term, skirting boards may start to show signs of decay and wall plaster might deteriorate, appearing cracked, crumbly or coming away from the brickwork.
Dampness below ground level or appearing in the form of mould growth or water droplets can have different causes requiring different treatment. Click to learn more about our Structural & Below Ground Waterproofing and Condensation Control solutions.
Our Proven Solutions For Rising Damp
Treatments may include injection of a high-performance damp-proofing cream into targeted along with careful removal and replacement of damaged plaster using salt-retardant materials to prevent recurring problems. Where required, we also install isolation membranes for an additional layer of protection.
Every treatment is tailored to your property, delivering reliable, long-lasting results.
