What causes rising damp & What are your Solutions?
Rising damp is a build up of water and moisture below the subfloor and walls of property. It can be a common problem with old houses that are built with brick or sandstone foundations. These foundations can act like a sponge to the moisture in the ground, soaking up the water into walls and leaving you with the nasty effects of rising damp
Most buildings that do not have a damp course installed (a plastic lining) have a higher chance of Rising Damp. Poor workmanship during the installation of concrete slabs and poor drainage on elevated land slopes can also create real problems for home and building owners. Old or failed waterproofing membranes can also be the culprit when trying to find the source of your problem.
Will Rising Damp Go Away?
If left untreated rising damp can spread fast into your floors and walls. This can result in making your structure weaker and more vulnerable to creating mould, wood rot and not to mention an invitation to a landlords worsts nightmare TERMITES!

Method 1
Chemical Injection.
Chemical injection consists of drilling 10-12mm holes along the perimeter of the brick work, the gaps between holes can vary between 30mm-60mm. Once these holes are drilled and cleaned a special waterproofing membrane is injected twice over.
Method 2
Damp Course.
Damp course installation consists of cutting out mortar between bricks and installing a plastic lining to act as a waterproofing barrier. These lining strips are staggered to prevent the compromise of structural integrity.
Method 3
Sub Floor Ventilation.
In many cases subfloor ventilation can be used as a method to dry out moisture in the soil of your sub floor. This will reduce mould and musty smells in the home and sub floor along with the preservation of timber flooring.
Method 4
Water Diversion.
Although it is not the cheapest solution, water diversion can be very effective if not the most effective solution when trying to resolve your rising damp issues. Ag lines are used to divert water away from the structure of your home and into your storm water drain.
