Rising Damp
Rising damp is a problem found in both new and old homes. Rising damp can be caused by;
- The incorrect application or the omission of the plastic moisture barrier beneath the concrete floor slab.
- Incorrect or inadequate floor ventilation beneath Timber floored homes.
- Faulty Plumbing services.
- Faulty or inadequate Stormwater removal from the property.
- External soil levels being above slab level.
All of the above causes have various identifiable symptoms and each have specific and different methods of rectification.
Most rising damp problems can be repaired. It is essential that these problems be identified in their early stages so as to minimise the damage to the property and reduce the cost of repairs.
