Rising damp is a problem that plagues most of the buildings in which we live. But, let’s understand together what comes from this problem. A bad waterproofing between the soil and the masonry allows the water contained in the soil back into the wall thanks to the principle of capillary action.

What are the causes and how to recognize if this problem also affects your home?

• plaster falling off, the most obvious consequence and very frequently is the plaster that comes off, the salts in the water emerge causing the detachment;
• patches in the masonry, the humidity creates the spots in the masonry that in the long run can cause molds which, in addition to the aesthetic damage, cause health problems for the occupants of the dwelling.
