FAQs

What causes rising damp?
Rising damp is primarily caused by groundwater penetrating walls through capillary action. This can occur when the damp proof course has failed or if there wasn't one installed in older properties, allowing moisture to rise from the base of the wall.
How can I identify rising damp in my home?
Signs of rising damp include damp patches on walls, peeling wallpaper and paint, and a musty smell. If you observe these symptoms, especially near the floor, it's advisable to consult with damp specialists for a thorough assessment.
How is rising damp treated?
Treatment options for rising damp typically involve the installation of a new damp proof course, followed by replastering affected areas with a moisture-resistant plaster. Our team will provide a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your property’s specific needs.
Can rising damp cause structural damage?
Yes, if left untreated, rising damp can lead to significant structural damage, including deterioration of internal walls, rotting of timber joists, and compromise to the overall integrity of the building. Timely intervention is crucial to prevent such issues.
Is rising damp a common problem in the UK?
Yes, rising damp is a common issue in many older houses throughout the UK, particularly those without adequate damp proof courses or those that have deteriorated over time. Regular property maintenance can help manage this risk effectively.
