How does rising damp occur?

Rising damp is an issue that can potentially affect any building, particularly older buildings where the original damp proof treatment or damp proof course has been damaged.

Over time water can work its way through brick work and softer mortar that holds the bricks together. The salts within this water are deposited on the surfaces of walls as they dry out. In turn, these salts draw moisture from the air and give the wall a damp feeling.
