Capillary rise in the home

Capillary rise, also known as rising damp, is a common phenomenon in which moisture present in the ground is absorbed by porous building materials such as walls and floors. Like a sponge, the structure "drinks" water from the ground, causing it to rise to the top by capillary action. This phenomenon can affect different parts of the house, from cellars and garages to living rooms, and is a persistent source of dampness if left untreated from the outset.

Untreatedrising damp can cause numerous problems and dangers for your home and your well-being. It leads to the deterioration of walls, making them spongy and favoring the appearance of mold, saltpetre and unpleasant odors. Aesthetically, it causes wallpaper to peel, and paint and plaster to blister. What's more, this constant humidity is detrimental to your comfort and can have consequences for your family's health, creating an environment conducive to allergies and respiratory problems. The problem can even spread over several floors.
