Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through porous building materials, such as bricks and mortar, due to capillary action. It is often caused by the absence or failure of a damp-proof course.
Signs of rising damp include damp patches or tide marks on walls, peeling paint, crumbling plaster, and a musty odor. If you notice any of these, it’s best to get a professional inspection.
Rising damp can lead to structural damage, cause wood rot, and promote the growth of mold and mildew, posing health risks and reducing property value.
The inspection typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the property and the extent of the damp issues.
Solutions include installing a damp-proof course, improving ventilation, and applying waterproofing treatments to affected areas.
Our report includes moisture readings, photos of affected areas, and a detailed description of the findings along with recommendations for treatment.
