Rising damp in buildings may be defined as the vertical flow of water up through a permeable wall structure. the water being derived from ground water.

If your house does indeed have rising damp then it can cause the following problems:

For inside walls

- Paint does not adhere to the wall.
- Wall paper lifts and stains appear on the walls.
- Plaster flakes away, feels soft and spongy, bubbles and white powder or crystals appear.
- Skirting boards and floor boards rot.

For outside walls

-Mortar frets and falls out between bricks and stonework.
-Stains or white powder appear on walls.

These problems are mainly aesthetic problems only, however it is conceivable that structural damage could result from extensive rising damp, and of course a damp mouldy environment could pose a HEALTH RISK to people.
