Rising Damp

Rising Damp

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through walls, typically due to a failed or missing damp-proof course or high external ground levels.

​

Common signs include:

• Tide marks on internal walls

• Peeling paint or plaster

• White salt deposits at low level​

​

At Ward Property Services, we don’t just treat the symptoms, we identify the underlying cause.

We carry out a full assessment of ground levels, internal wall condition and moisture readings before recommending the correct solution.

​

Our approach includes:

• Diagnosis using moisture testing equipment

• Damp-proof course treatments where required

• Making good plaster and finishes
