Is Your Anxiety About Rising Damp On The Rise? Here's How to Know If You Have It And What You Can Do About It!
Rising damp is a problem for many Australian homeowners today, particularly those who live in older structures. When groundwater moves upwards into the floors, walls and beyond, rising damp is the result. Whilst natural evaporation eliminates some of the ground moisture, porous building materials like brick and mortar can trap the moisture, making an ideal environment for the rising damp to occur. If your home has rising damp, it's important to recognise the symptoms so the problem can be dealt with promptly.
