How to avoid misdiagnoses
Rising damp is a commonly encountered problem in some types of building, however it can be misdiagnosed by untrained professionals. Water that enters or affects a building through any other route can move about in various ways, but this is not rising damp.
It is important to understand the signs of rising damp - dampness in your home is not always rising damp. There may be another source of water entering the building.
This is where it is important to seek the help and advice of a specialist surveyor to undertake the necessary diagnostic works in relation to the damp in your home.
