Rising damp occurs when groundwater rises up through walls, floors and masonry. Bricks and mortar can be very porous and contain many fine capillaries, through which water can rise. This can result in visible damp patches, salt-contamination and crumbling plaster on interior walls.

Penetrating damp is a common problem on brick, stone and masonry buildings. Most people become aware of penetrating damp in their property because of damp patches on interior decorating surfaces but it can also be indicated by symptoms such as exterior efflorescence and eroded weather facing surfaces.

When it is not possible to protect building materials and interior surfaces from the sources of dampness, like rain penetration or rising damp, it is often beneficial to use a damp-proof membrane or covering to halt its progress. This can protect other vulnerable building materials and create a comfortable environment for the occupants.
