Rising damp will only occur when an existing damp proof course (DPC) has been bridged or damaged in some way. This allows rainwater in the ground to seep into the building through bricks and mortar by a process called capillary action.
It is important to note that it will only ever affects the ground floor, and symptoms on internal walls include:
Water leaking in from outside the property is the main cause of penetrating damp. This will usually manifest as localised damp patches on a wall or ceiling.
Broken downpipes and gutters, cracks, faulty joints and corroded seals are all contributing factors. Leaks from inside can cause problems too, and wet rot or related issues like woodworm can often accompany damp from faulty plumbing or leaking washing machines and showers.
The signs of penetrating damp are:
Condensation is caused by excess humidity and poor ventilation.
It also creates ideal conditions for black mould to grow.
