Other signs of rd can be the crystalline deposit of salts (efflorescence) on concrete, stone or brick. This is when water evaporates from your walls and leaves salt deposits behind.
Green, black and white spots of mould that appear on damp walls are also signs of rising damp. Apart from unsightly damage to walls and floors, mould causes health risks especially for children and the elderly. Eczema, allergies and asthma have all been linked to exposure to breathing in mould spores resulting from high levels of indoor dampness.
