Rising damp is a build up of water and moisture down the under-floor and barricades of structures. It can be a general problem with old houses that are constructed with slab or sandstone basements. These substructures can function as a scrounger to the humidity in the land, soaking up water into walls and leaving you with the unpleasant effects of rising damp.

Many constructions that do not have damp course planted (a plastic lining) have a higher risk of Rising Damp. Poor workmanship meanwhile the instalment of concrete block and poor drainage on elevated land slopes can also create deep challenges for home and building owners. Outdated or ineffective waterproofing pipe-line can also be the defaulter when looking for the source of your problem.
