If you have rising damp then it can indicate problems with the damp proof course (DPC) such as bridging of the DPC or failure. In this instance it might be necessary to install a chemical damp proof course. In a brick or stone wall the materials used act like a sponge and soak up water from the ground. This water is able to rise up the wall due to hygroscopic action and will damage plaster and decorations. In order to prevent this, when a brick or stone wall is being built, a waterproof membrane is inserted six inches or a foot or so above ground level.
