Why Rising Damp Inspections Are Important

Common Rising Damp Issues We Find

Through our experience, we often encounter the following problems during Rising Damp inspections:

  • Tide Marks on Walls: Visible water stains up to one meter above ground level due to moisture traveling through walls.
  • Peeling Paint and Wallpaper: Moisture causes bubbling paint and lifting wallpaper, especially near affected wall bases.
  • Cracked or Crumbling Plaster: Exposure to damp weakens plaster, leading to cracks or crumbling that compromises the wall’s structure.
  • Salt Efflorescence: White, powdery salt deposits form as moisture evaporates, leaving behind crystallized salts on the walls.
  • Rotting Timber: Rising damp causes wood rot in skirting boards and floorboards, leading to damage and the need for replacement.
  • Mold and Musty Smells: Damp conditions encourage mold growth and result in musty odors, especially in poorly ventilated areas.
