Rising Damp can develop within walls due to the lack of an effective damp proof course or the omission of damp proofing during earlier construction or renovation.
There are many ways in which rising damp may be found in a property. Rising damp may be found during a Building Survey, by tests carried out to the base of the damp walls, however in more severe cases where damp has been left untreated for prolonged periods of time, visible damp patches may appear, along with hygroscopic salts on the surface of the walls.
Penetrating damp, otherwise known as lateral damp, is the end result of water successfully penetrating from the outside of a building and into your property.
Unlike rising damp, penetrating damp can happen at any level within the property including roofs, ceilings and walls.
It is a very common problem found within older properties that have solid walls. Newer properties tend to have much more protection from penetrating damp through the use of cavity walls and are therefore less likely to suffer from this type of damp problem.

Effective damp proofing treatment requires removal of the wall plaster to approximately one metre or higher (depending on the salts within the masonry and several other factors). In addition to this, installation of a new damp proof course within the damp walls will help to provide protection for the property.
