Rising damp in Wakefield
Groundwater is one of the main contributing factors of rising damp, containing soluble salts, including chloride and nitrates. Moisture from this groundwater can rise through the masonry of your house, getting to different levels depending on the pore structure of your home.
When visiting your home for a consultation, we always perform the following steps:
- Visual check
- Using a moisture metre/gravimetric analysis
- Testing for soluble salts if necessary
