Rising Damp Works

Rising damp is one of the most common and destructive issues affecting older homes across Sydney. It occurs when groundwater travels up through porous brickwork and masonry, leaving behind visible damage such as peeling paint, crumbling plaster, white salt deposits, damp patches, and musty odours. Left untreated, it not only harms your home’s appearance but can also compromise structural integrity over time.

Our Rising Damp Works service is designed to provide a complete and lasting solution. From identifying the root cause—such as a failed or missing damp-proof course—to applying proven rectification methods and high-quality materials, we restore your home’s protection against moisture. With decades of experience, we deliver reliable treatments that stop rising damp at its source and safeguard your property for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is rising damp and how do I know if I have it?

Rising damp happens when moisture from the ground rises up through walls by capillary action. Signs include tide marks on walls, crumbling, damp plaster near skirting boards, white salt deposits, and peeling paint.

What causes rising damp?

Common causes include a damaged or absent damp proof course (DPC), external ground or paving built up above the DPC level, blocked air ventilation, and moisture-sources like persistent leaks or poor drainage around the property.

How is rising damp treated?

Treatment usually involves injecting a chemical damp proof course into the affected walls, removing damaged plaster or render, replacing it with salt-resistant or renovating plaster, and ensuring ventilation plus external ground levels and drainage are correct.

How long will it take for the walls to dry out after treatment?

Drying time depends on wall thickness, the extent of moisture saturation, and environmental conditions. Some walls begin drying in weeks; others may need several months before full restoration works like replastering and repainting can safely proceed.

What happens if rising damp is ignored?

If left untreated, rising damp can lead to structural damage, decay of plaster, paint and timber, mould growth (which may affect health), decreased insulation and energy efficiency, plus more costly repairs down the line.
