Rising damp is an accumulation of water and humidity beneath the under-floor and barricades of building. It can be a general problem with old houses that are constructed with brick or sandstone basements. These substructures can serve as a sponge to the humidness in the land, taking in water into walls and leaving you with the nasty effects of rising damp.

Majority houses that do not have damp course fixed (a plastic lining) have more possibility of Rising Damp. Careless piece of work meanwhile the instalment of concrete block and poor water drain on high land inclines can also devise deep challenges for home and building owners. Old fashioned or futile waterproofing pipes can also be the defaulter when looking for the area of concern.
