Rising damp is caused by moisture rising through the porous masonry from the ground, this typically occurs in older homes. As opposed to older properties, damp proof courses are built into the newer/more modern properties.
Rising damp is a problem that can affect any building, whether it be commercial or residential, it is unsightly, potentially unhealthy, can often lead to timber decay and cause heat loss due to the increased conductivity of the walls.Rising damp can lead to visible damp patches, salt-contamination and crumbling plaster on interior walls.

Condensation is the formation of extra water vapour in the form of a liquid when saturation of the air occurs. When the air is warmer, it can contain more moisture, however when the air does get colder, it can't hold all the moisture and some of it forms tiny droplets on anything cold. Condensation is an extremely underestimated cause of damage to our homes.
Penetrating damp can enter a property in many ways, it is usually caused by water moving through walls from the outside of the building, penetrating damp most usually occurs in older buildings with solid walls. Penetrating damp is typically triggered by building defects, for example defective pointing, leaking rainwater guttering or running overflows.

Would highly recommend Damp Proofing Direct, we chose the specialist basement team to upgrade the below ground waterproofing in the cellar. The two operatives, Rob and James, who undertook the majority of our work were efficient, professional and friendly and it was a great pleasure to have them round. Their colleagues who supplemented the team were also just as polite and reliable, our project coordinator had everything running like clock work and completed the work ahead of schedule.
