Rising damp is a proliferation of water and damp beneath the sub surface and ramparts of property. It can be a common problem with ancestral houses that are made with block or sandstone substructures. These foundations can serve as an absorber to the humidity in the floor, taking in water into walls and leaving you with the nasty effects of rising damp.

Majority constructions that do not have damp course planted (a plastic lining) have more chance of Rising Damp. Poor workmanship amid the induction of concrete block and inadequate water drain on raised land gradient can also devise real problems for home and project owners. Out of date or collapsed waterproofing pipe-line can also be the culprit when looking for the source of error.
