RISING DAMP
Moisture in the soil can rise up through a wall by a process known as capillary action. Most old buildings were built without a damp proofing course or the damp proofing course may have failed due to the age of the property. The rise of water in capillaries is caused by the affinity of building materials for water. All building materials are wettable and will absorb water just like blotting paper.
Rising damp will appear along the base of the wall forming a characteristic tide mark 500/600 mm above floor level depending on the porosity of the building fabric and the rate of evaporation.

Impervious coatings such as vinyl wallpapers and the like, will retard evaporation and force the dampness higher up the wall.
If allowed to continue unchecked the process will cause the plaster and wall fabric to break down and timber in contact with the damp wall will decay.
Persistent rising damp often takes from the soil chlorides, nitrates and other salts which are deposited on the face of the plaster as the water evaporates from the surface.
Such salts are hydroscopic with the result that the face of the wall has the tendency of being persistently damp, particularly during humidity of the atmosphere, even after the rising damp has been arrested.

Solution:

Once injected to the mortar course, cream will diffuse within the damp wall to form a water repellent barrier (damp-proof course, DPC) and block future rising damp.

Benefits:
Fast and easy to install, one-component ready to use - No need for preliminary watertight sealing around the injection holes - Quick and consistent application – easy to calculate the amount of material required - Does not require a special, expensive pump - Spillage and mess virtually eliminated from the site – no problem with fluids flooding through party walls, cavities or service ducts - Concentrated formula with approx. 80% active ingredients - Low hazard, water-based product – non-caustic, non-flammable and not injected under pressure - Very low wastage - No risk of increased efflorescence (as with siliconate-based rising damp treatments)

Areas For Use:
Suitable to treat rising damp in almost all types of masonry walls including Solid brick walls, Cavity walls, Random form stone and rubble infill walls, etc
