Professional Damp Course Injection Services - Rising Damp Solutions

Rising damp occurs when groundwater travels upward through porous building materials via capillary action, typically affecting walls up to one metre above ground level. Common signs include tide marks on internal walls, peeling wallpaper or paint, white salt deposits on wall surfaces, musty odours, and black mould growth in affected areas. The problem often develops when original damp proof courses fail due to age, bridging by external render or internal floors, or complete absence in older properties built before damp proofing became standard practice. Left untreated, rising damp can cause serious structural damage including timber decay, plaster deterioration, and compromised wall integrity. The moisture also creates unhealthy living conditions, potentially triggering respiratory problems. Early identification and professional treatment are essential to prevent extensive damage.
