Rising damp is a proliferation of water and humidity under the sub surface and walls of property. It can be a common challenge with old buildings that are built with slab or sandstone basements. These foundations can operate as a sponge to the humidness in the ground, soaking up water into walls and causing the ugly effects of rising damp.

Many properties that do not have damp course installed (a plastic lining) have a higher chance of Rising Damp. Sloppy workmanship meanwhile the fitting of concrete block and bad water drain on raised land gradient can also build serious challenges for home and prime contractors. Old or failed waterproofing membranes can also be the malfeasant when looking for the source of your problem.
