Ever wondered what is rising damp or where does it come from? Rising Damp is the name given to the process of capillary action when it occurs in properties. This describes how pores in the brickwork and mortar soak up water from external ground moisture and allow it to travel up into the home and ultimately soaking internal walls.

Rising Damp has a few signature tell-tale signs that help you to identify it vs other forms of damp in the home. Typically walls affected by it will display a damp tide mark that can reach up to 1 metre in height. Another common sign of Rising Damp is the appearance of ground salts on the wall surface.
