Frequently Asked Questions

Similar to a sponge, your exterior walls can soak up ground water because it sits below the surround ground or it lacks proper drainage. Symptoms of rising damp are usually pronounced at the bottom of interior or exterior walls, and sometimes can extend upwards as far as 1 metre high. Damaged would be noticeable at the skirting boards or plaster, paint or wallpaper peeling near the base of your walls, and wet patches with white residues. There are often times tide marks of how high the water has reached.
