What is Rising Damp?
Rising damp in buildings may be defined as the upwards flow of moisture through a permeable wall structure, the moisture being derived from groundwater. The moisture rises through the pores (capillaries) in the masonry by a process loosely termed ‘capillarity’, which causes the masonry to act like a wick.
Undesirable eefects of rising dampness in walls include
-
Decorative spoiling
-
Decreased insulation properties of the wall
-
Destruction of building fabric
-
Negative effects
-
Pungent smell and bad odour
How to fix Rising Damp?
The common method used to fix rising damp is to install a new damp-course by cutting the walls or pressure injecting or gravity feeding water repellent materials (eg. silicones) into the walls. The methods are expensive and complicated and may only be properly conducted by professional contractors.
ELASTIC DAMPTREAT
DampTreat is a simple and economic alternative. It is an innovative silane/siloxane cream formulated as a water based cream containing 80% active silicone that can effectively form a permanent silicone damp course within the masonry walls and surfaces.

Procedure to damp proof a wall
Step 1
Identify the rising damp. Exclude any other types of damp that may be caused by penetrating damp or leaking pipes, roof or shower sources. These sources may required a different type of treatment.
Locate a mortar joint 150mm above the ground level, mark holes approximately 110mm apart. Avoid drilling holes directly above vertical mortar joints of bricks
