What is rising damp?

Rising damp is among the primary causes of damp in buildings.

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground rises vertically up through the fine pores within the masonry or walls of a building via a capillary attraction. Water can subsequently rise up the wall to a height in excess of 1.5 meters. This water carries salts from the ground into the masonry walls .When the water evaporates it leaves behind the ground salts which can then cause contamination of the plaster work. This process will continuously repeat until treated.
