    What is rising damp?

    Rising damp in London is an aspect of home ownership that affects millions of properties in the UK. Rising damp in London is the result of porous masonry sucking up water from the ground, rather like blotting paper. The water rises up the wall sometimes to a height of a meter and often leaves a characteristic horizontal ‘tide mark’. There may also be mould growth and loose wallpaper. Aside from ruined internal decorations, all forms of damp will severely damage the brickwork, render and masonry of a building if unaddressed. It will also cause fungal decay to timbers and cause infections and respiratory illness in occupants.

    What causes rising damp?

    Several factors can cause rising damp in London. Here are some signs that your property may have rising damp in London…

    • Incorrect Damp Proofing Course (DPC) Installation

    If your DPC wasn’t installed correctly to begin with, it can allow moisture to infiltrate your property.

    • Aged or Damaged DPC

    An ageing or damaged DPC is no longer effective at preventing rising damp in London, therefore allowing moisture to rise.

    • Higher Ground Levels

    If your property has higher ground levels where your external walls are elevated above the DPC, water can more easily enter your property.

    • Bridging by External Structures

    The presence of external structures like steps that bridge the DPC can provide an entry point for rising damp.

    How To Spot Rising Damp

    • Tide-Mark Damp Stains

    If your walls have damp stains which form a tide mark around a metre above the ground, you may have rising damp in London.

    • Damp & Decaying Skirting Boards

    Are your skirting boards damp or deteriorating? This could point to rising damp in London.

    • Salts in Plaster

    Visible salt in the plaster of internal walls could point to rising damp in London.

    • Peeling or Flaking Paint

    Peeling and flaking paint could signify problems with rising damp in London.

    • Damp Wallpaper

    Is your wallpaper damp, peeling or bubbling? You could have rising damp in London.

    • Black Mould

    Black mould on your walls or within your property is a clear sign of rising damp in London.
