Frequently Asked Questions
What is rising damp and what causes it?
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through porous building materials like bricks and mortar. This usually happens when a damp-proof course is missing, damaged or no longer effective. Over time, this moisture can lead to visible stains, peeling paint, mould growth and structural deterioration if not properly treated.
How do I know if my property has rising damp?
Common signs of rising damp include damp or musty smells, bubbling or flaking paint, discoloured walls, salt deposits and deteriorating plaster near the base of walls. Floors may also feel cold or damp. A proper assessment is recommended to confirm the cause and severity.
Can rising damp be permanently fixed?
Yes, rising damp can be effectively treated when the root cause is correctly identified. Professional remediation methods aim to stop moisture from travelling upward and restore affected areas. Long-term results depend on using the right solution for your building and ensuring proper installation.
