Rising damp is a common problem in UK properties, particularly in older buildings without adequate damp proofing. It occurs when moisture from the ground seeps into the walls, damaging plaster, paintwork, and even the structural integrity of your home. If left untreated, rising damp can lead to persistent mould growth, peeling walls, and long-term issues that may be costly to repair.
