Damp Proofing
Rising damp normally occurs in properties which either have not been built with a damp proof course (DPC) or where the DPC has failed. The most obvious signs of rising are a brown "tidemark" on the wall and the plaster below feels cold or damp to the touch. Rising damp can affect any wall in contact with the ground and therefore can affect internal as well as external walls.
It does not normally rise above about 1 meter (3 ft) in height. If you suspect that your home is affected by rising damp it is advisable that you have the property surveyed, email today for further details on our surveying service.
Penetrating damp can affect almost any location in the home and is usually the result of a building or plumbing fault allowing water to enter into the property. A brown stain normally occurs on the affected surface, which grows in size as more water penetrates.
If the fault is not rectified plaster will start to perish and in the case of ceilings could even collapse. If you think you have a problem with penetrating damp you should have the fault repaired as soon as possible.
