Cause and effects of rising damp

The damage as a direct result of rising dampness is likely to affect plaster, decorations, wall / floor coverings and fabrics.

Rising damp can be recognised in several ways. White, fluffy salts on the surface of the wall associated with damp stains, usually indicate the movement of ground water into the wall, caused in damp conditions. Fungal decay in skirting and floor joists is normally associated with an attendant damp problem.

Even though rising dampness may have been controlled by the insertion of a remedial damp-proof course, salts alone can cause the wall and any contaminated decorations to remain damp. Specialist replastering is such an important aspect of rising damp treatment.
