Damp proofing

Rising damp is not the most common form of dampness encountered in buildings; this is left to condensation. However, a high proportion of older buildings are affected by rising damp to some degree or another.

Rising damp in buildings may be defined as the vertical flow of water up through a permeable wall structure, the water being derived from ground water. The water rises through the pores in the masonry by a process loosely termed "capilliarity." In other words the masonry acts like a wick soaking up the moisture.
