Rising damp occurs when ground moisture travels through walls by capillary action. Stained walls, crumbling or degraded plaster, salt deposits, mould growth, and damage around skirting boards can all need assessment. Damplast investigates the moisture source before recommending treatment for Mortlake properties. Depending on the condition of the wall, the work may include a chemical damp proof course, a membrane or tanking system, followed by replastering to restore the affected finish.
