Rising Damp

Ground water that saturates the ground under your building’s foundations causes “rising damp.” It’s comparatively rare in modern buildings because foundations are built to withstand it, but it can still occur. As with other types of water damage, you’ll notice damage to plaster and masonry, this time, from the ground level up. You will need help from construction professionals to resolve the issue, and you may want to look at basement waterproofing.
