Rising Damp usually occurs when unprotected porous materials (e.g. bricks and stone) come into contact with damp earth. There are many symptoms associated with damp:

• Damp is unsightly and causes damage to decoration, manifesting itself often as wavy lines along walls, peaking at corners.

• Damp often leads to timber decay, particularly in older properties with unprotected timbers.

• Damage is caused to plaster and rendering as a result of hygroscopic salt contamination.

• The moisture present often increases the conductivity of the walls, resulting in increased heat loss from the property.

• The health of those around you can be put at risk due to the increase in fungal and mould growth spores.

• Damp can affect all unprotected walls (contrary to the belief of many!) whether internal or external.
