Rising damp is an accumulation of water and humidity down the under-floor and barricades of structures. It can be a widespread problem with ancestral houses that are constructed with slab or sandstone substructures. These basements can act like a sponge to the damp in the floor, drinking in water into walls and causing the horrible effects of rising damp.

Most constructions that do not have damp course planted (a plastic lining) have more possibility of Rising Damp. Poor workmanship during the induction of concrete slab and pathetic drainage on high land gradient can also build major challenges for home and project owners. Out of date or ineffective waterproofing pipes can also be the culprit when looking for the source of your problem.
