Lifecote Rising Dampness Systems

 
THE PROBLEM OF RISING DAMP
 
Practically all buildings are surrounded by natural moisture which is trying to get into the dry structure of the building.

It is when building design precautions are inadequate or through lack of maintenance that dampness penetrates. Although any indication of dampness in the lower part of the wall is often diagnosed to be 'Rising Damp,' condensation or penetrating damp can create this condition making it essential for expert diagnosis to be made if unnecessary and costly procedures are to be avoided.
 
Below are some of the main causes of rising damp 

(DPC = damp-proof course)

No D.P.C or existing D.P.C in-effective High ground or path Render bridging D.P.C Solid floor bridging D.P.C Debris in cavity

 

If structural deterioration due to rising damp or other causes of damp penetration is allowed to continue without proper treatment, it will lead to expensive damage to plaster, decorations, timber work and electrical wiring and will create an unhealthy living environment.
