Is it really rising damp?
Moisture near your skirting boards can be alarming and may look like rising damp, but it isn’t always the case.
Often, it’s caused by bridging plaster, where moisture travels up the wall through the plaster, showing as damp patches.
Bridging plaster is usually a much easier and more cost-effective problem to fix than rising damp.
That’s why it’s essential to get a qualified surveyor to accurately diagnose the source of any damp issues before committing to expensive works.
We urge you to exercise caution and not be pressured by unqualified opinions or unnecessary treatments.
