Rising damp is a proliferation of water and damp under the under-floor and walls of property. It can be a simple problem with old houses that are built with block or sandstone substructures. These basements can act like a sponge to the damp in the base, absorbing water into walls and giving you the ugly effects of rising damp.

Many constructions that do not have damp course installed (a plastic lining) have more chance of Rising Damp. Careless piece of work meanwhile the induction of concrete block and poor water drain on elevated land slopes can also create major challenges for home and project owners. Out of date or collapsed waterproofing pipe-line can also be the culprit when attempting to find the area of concern.
