TYPES OF DAMP


Rising Damp


This is a condition where ground water is drawn upwards through direct contact with bricks and mortar.
Water rises by capillary action where inadequate or damaged damp proof courses are present in the walls of the home.


Descending Damp


This can be associated with broken, missing or slipped tiles, leaking parapets, leaking showers, leaking balconies or poorly waterproofed windowsills or tops of walls. Descending damp usually appears as bubbling paint or damp stains to ceilings and walls.


Lateral ( Penetrating) Damp


Lateral damp penetration is a cause of penetrating damp. This occurs when the external ground level is higher than the building so moisture is able to penetrate the walls. Penetrating damp is usually classed as any kind of water that makes it’s way in from the outside


DAMPROOFING DO`s & DONT`s


Dont's


* Scrape and paint
* Apply a waterproofing product on the wall to the height of the damp, as the damp will rise above the waterproofing and create a bigger problem.
* Do only one side of the wall.


Do's


* Remove contaminated plaster to plus minus 200mm above the damp to dry brick.
* Inject a new dpc and waterproof below/above the new DPC.
* Waterproof both sides of the wall where possible, and re-plaster with a salt retarding plaster.
