What is rising damp? That is a common question asked by customers at Timberwise. Rising damp is a term for the movement of water from the ground rising up through the outer walls of the building by capillary action. A simple description is that the water will rise up the wall just like the way water soaked up by a sponge. This water will contain salts which is deposited onto the wall. Other building materials that are near to the affected wall, such as skirting boards, joists and plasterwork will absorb the moisture from the ground.
