Rising Damp can develop within walls due to the lack of an effective damp proof course or the omission of damp proofing during earlier construction or renovation of your property in Marple Bridge, damp may be found in a property. Rising damp may be found during a Building Survey, by tests carried out to the base of the damp walls, however in more severe cases where damp has been left untreated for prolonged periods of time, visible damp patches may appear, along with hygroscopic salts on the surface of the walls.
Penetrating damp, otherwise known as lateral damp, is the end result of water successfully penetrating from the outside of a building and into your Marple Bridge property.
Unlike rising damp, penetrating damp can happen at any level within the property including roofs, ceilings and walls.
It is a very common problem found within older properties that have solid walls. Newer properties in Marple Bridge tend to have much more protection from penetrating damp through the use of cavity walls and are therefore less likely to suffer from this type of damp problem.
