How to treat rising damp

It’s important that the causes of rising damp are correctly identified so it can properly treated. If the fundamental causes of the problem aren’t addressed, then the damp will resurface. A quick-fix by painting or re-plastering is ignoring a larger problem, and one which will be more expensive in the long term.

If your home doesn’t have an existing damp proof course, then a damp proof course can be installed. This is done by drilling holes horizontally in both sides of the wall and injecting damp proofing materials into the walls. This material disperses to create a waterproof barrier to stop the capillary action of water rising through the masonry.

If you already have a damp proof course that is being breached by a structure and that you can’t move, then you can install new damp proofing above the structure instead.
