FAQ's

  • What causes rising damp?

    The most common cause of rising damp is the failure of the building’s damp proofing or the ‘damp course’. This can be caused by simple ageing, damage caused by new building work to the property or construction around the outside of the building.

  • What should I look for?

    Some indicators of rising damp may include:


    • A damp, ‘musty’ smell when entering a room
    • Delaminating wallpaper, paint or plaster
    • A ‘tidemark’ on the wall above skirting boards
    • Salts emerging from the wall surface
  • What should I do?

    If left untreated, rising damp can not only cause cosmetic damage, but may also cause structural damage to your property.
