Raising Damp
Penetration Damp
Penetration Damp
Rising damp occurs when groundwater rises through capillaries in masonry. To prevent this, homes are built with a DPC (Damp-Proof Course). Compared to penetrating damp or condensation damp, rising damp is relatively rare. But what are the rising damp causes? In buildings older than 100 years, it is often caused by a faulty or missing DPC

In buildings older than 100 years, it is often caused by a faulty or missing DPC. In newer buildings, adjoining structures above the DPC can cause rising damp.

Penetration Damp
Penetrating damp is the process of moisture moving from the exterior wall of a building to the interior. It occurs when outside moisture like wind-driven rain impacts a building’s wall.
Building materials like brick are porous. They soak up rain to saturate the wall with penetrating damp. Read on or choose from the contents below to find out more.
Condensation
Penetration Damp
Condensation
In winter, seal in the heat and ventilate less, causing humidity levels to rise. This causes condensation: liquid water that collects on walls, windows and ceilings. Kitchens and bathrooms are vulnerable to excess condensation, which can lead to damp and black mould growth.
