Rising Damp (Salt Damp), symptoms certainly catch the eye!

When moisture from the ground rises up a wall due to the capillary action in the masonry material, it’s called rising damp or salt damp.  It carries with it corrosive salts, and causes a number of serious problems, including:

Stained walls
Blistering salt-ridden and flaky paint
Curled, stained and delaminating wallpaper
White salt powdered residue
Pitted and eroded brick and stonework
Powdery disintegrating mortar
Rotting timber skirtings and doorframes

There’s nothing as unsettling as the sight of damaged walls caused by rising damp. Your walls develop unsightly salt blisters and flaking paint, and as the problem gets worse, you’re always sweeping up the droppings. Your rooms become more and more uncomfortable and unhealthy to live in.

There’s absolutely no point in trying to conceal rising damp by re-pointing mortar or replastering and painting. In fact, this can make things worse. Rising damp will not go away unless we get right to the bottom of it and effectively reverse it before the damage to your premises reaches its full destructive potential.
