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.
