At RC Construction we have a team of qualified damp proofing specialis who can deal with your rising damp problems. Rising Damp is the most common problem in older buildings. Moisture rises up the wall by capillary action depositing salts and damaging the wall finishes. However Rising Damp is less common than commonly thought and dampness at the base of a wall may be due to other damp problems such as Penetrating Damp and Condensation. More often than not the cause is due to bridging of an existing Damp Proof Course by high ground levels. Different causes of dampness require different methods of treatment so it is essential to diagnose the cause of dampness before treatment begins.

Although most damp problems are much less serious than they actually look, whatever the cause, damp can be very bad for our health and the health of our property.
