One of the common types of damp is rising damp. This affects properties from the lower walls. Although it mainly affects older buildings, caused by failed or no DPC (damp proofing course) being installed, this type can be very destructive.
Rising Damp comes from the obvious reason that this kind of damp rises from the soil, when rain falls and the water and soil through capillary action from the ground into the encompassing walls. There are a few Damp Proofing issues that we rectify within our Construction Company based in Northfleet
Rising damp is observed usually with brown tide marks, discolouration to the walls and/or efflorescence. This occurs as salts in the water remain on the wall when the water subsides from the walls.
Rising Damp is found in houses on the ground floor and in old houses older than 1950’s would not of had DPC (Damp proofing course) installed in the house, or the DPC may of failed if it is old and porous.
If the area where the house is situated is wet, then Rising damp can spread and rise quickly due to a heavy contamination of chloride, and a medium concentration of nitrate both of which are a hygroscopic salt from the ground.
In our experienc DPC Resin Injection and necessary Waterproofing applications are the most effective methods to seal brick walls that are suffering from Rising damp, as when the resin is injected under controlled pressure into the structure due to hydrophobic characters of the resin the reduction of damp starts immediately after installation.
