Good Day All I'll start a Lecture on Rising Damp so stay tuned.

[b]What is Rising Damp?

Rising damp is moisture present in your walls as a result of water in the ground underneath or next to your walls rising up through the fabric of the wall, whether it be brick, block or stone.

The water travels upwards through the wall as a result of capillary action (where water is sucked through a small opening such as a tube or hole) through the tiny holes in the brick or stone. The water stops rising at a height where gravity counteracts the upwards force of the capillary action.

This ‘rising damp’ usually reaches a maximum height of 1.2m, but the effects of the damp, such as salt deposits, may be seen higher up due to the presence of non-breathing wall coverings such as vinyl wallpaper and non breathing plasters, renders and paints.

What are the Signs of Rising Damp?

Typical signs of rising damp rather than other damp problems are a ‘tide line’ of yellowish or brownish staining or blown plaster in the lower area of your wall above your skirting board.

You also might have damp or rotting skirting boards or flooring. You may see white, fluffy deposits in your plaster – these are ‘salts’ which the damp has washed out of your bricks and into your plaster. Black spots of mould may also appear on on the damp areas of your wall.

What Causes Rising Damp?

Rising damp problems often occur as a result of not having a Damp Proof Course installed or having a Damp Proof Course that is faulty due to age or inadequate installation. A Damp Proof Course is a waterproof layer in your wall (or both walls if you have a cavity wall), ideally about six inches from the outside ground on your external wall and under your raised timber floor or near your concrete floor on your internal wall (so both DPC's are on the same level). This layer repels water – a variety of different DPC's are available and will be discussed in this project.


A damp proof course will stop rising damp from rising up into your walls – it is a waterproof layer that sits between your bricks across your house

You may be experiencing rising damp even if your Damp Proof Course is functioning well –in this case the DPC may be breached - that is, there may be something attached to your walls that is allowing water to travel around the Damp Proof Course and continue moving upwards. It may be that there is an area of ground next to your external wall that is higher than your DPC, or there is an outside structure (such as steps) which is attached above the DPC, allowing water to travel up through this and cross to the wall over the DPC. There are several other ways your DPC might be bridged. Your internal plaster may be directly connected to a solid floor at the bottom on your internal wall. Your cavity wall may also have debris inside of it, whether it is leftover building materials or something else. If this debris reaches above the DPC's then this can create another bridge for moisture to travel from the ground over the DPC and up your wall as rising damp.


Rising damp can happen as a result of debris present in your cavity wall bridging the Damp Proof Course and giving water a way to travel around the DPC and up into your walls

Remember that your damp problem may not necessarily be caused by rising damp – there may be another source of water that you are not aware of. A telltale sign that your damp is not rising damp is if the damp patches are higher up than 1 metre on your wall and are unevenly distributed, in which case you may be suffering from penetrating dampness instead. To be sure that rising damp is the issue you’re facing, take a look at our other project page Damp Diagnosing and Analysing project page.


Uneven damp patches higher on your wall than 1.2 metres may mean that you have penetrating dampness in your walls instead of rising damp

How Can I Find Out What is Causing my Rising Damp?


You should first check that you have a Damp Proof Course – this will usually be visible outside your house as a line 6 inches above the ground.

If you do have a DPC, check that there are no structures bridging your DPC – examples include higher outside ground or outside steps that are higher than your DPC and internal plaster that directly meets a solid floor.

The rising damp could also be coming in from a neighbour’s property if they don’t have a DPC or their DPC is higher up than yours, allowing the damp to travel around your DPC.

If you do not have a damp proof course or it is bridged or below ground level this could be causing your rising damp problem

As mentioned earlier, your DPC may also be bridged internally.
This happens when your cavity wall becomes filled with debris, which can happen during the building of your house.

This can reach higher than the level of the DPC, allowing water to travel up it and over the DPC, then it can travel, via the bridging material, through the wall to the inside. –

You can check for this by removing some of the bricks on your external wall (don’t remove more than two bricks without consulting a tradesman or surveyor). Using a phone with a light or a camera, take a look around the cavity.

If there is debris there, you can take this out by hand if you can reach it (use sturdy gloves to avoid injuring yourself on sharp objects) and use a bar to drag any out of reach objects closer to you.
To get smaller bits and dust out, use an old vacuum cleaner. Once the cavity area you have access to is clear, replace your bricks.

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.

Rising damp varies in severity depending
on several factors including the level of groundwater, the pore structure of the masonry materials (brick, stone, mortar etc…) and the rate of evaporation away from the wall surface. It often requires treatment because it has a number of undesirable effects on the performance of buildings, including:

1. Decorative Spoiling – Moisture and ground salts introduced by rising damp can cause
wallpaper to peel, plaster to deteriorate, and paint to blister.

2. Erosion of the Building Fabric – Ground salts introduced into the wall by rising damp
can attack and dissolve the binders in brick, stone, and mortar causing them to lose
their strength and structural integrity. Crystallising salts can exert such forces that the
mortar, brick, or stone microstructure is destroyed.

3. Increased Heat Loss – Dampness in porous building materials causes a reduction
of insulation properties as air in the pores is replaced by more conductive water. For
example, the thermal conductivity of a wet brick has been found to be approximately
twice that of a dry brick .

What Causes Rising Damp?

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground is “sucked” into the porous building materials from which walls are constructed through a process known as “capillarity.” This effect can be demonstrated by placing a sample of brick, mortar, or porous stone in a shallow tray of water

The rate of flow of water through the structure is dependent on pore size, shape, and
connectivity. Smaller pores have greater potential for capillary rise, but larger pores have
more rapid flow.

So the maximum rise is determined by the distribution of pore sizes.

In practice, this potential height of rise is moderated by the fact that moisture introduced
into the wall through rising damp will evaporate before it has had a chance to rise to the
full potential height.
For this reason, rising damp to heights exceeding 1.5m is relatively rare except where the wall has been covered by vapour impermeable coverings such as
polymer membranes, vinyl wallpapers, and certain types of wall insulation.
The height of rise also tends to be higher in other situations in which evaporation is
inhibited – e.g.

• Local Climate – rising damp will often rise higher in colder locations

• Winter vs Summer – In a European climate damp tends to rise higher during the
wetter, colder winter months.

• Northerly Aspect – height of rise tends to be higher on walls with a northerly aspect
(in Northern Hemisphere) as these walls are cooler than those with a southerly aspect

• Unheated house – evaporation is lower in unheated (or unoccupied) homes than in
heated homes

• Thick walls – have lower evaporation rates than thin walls as their surface area is
proportionally lower
