Rising damp is one of the biggest challenges in existing construction. It requires special treatment, as it starts from the ground and extends up to the walls (it impregnates the structural element). Its appearance in habitable areas creates damage and problems, both internally and externally. Internally: creating an unsightly image (traces of salts, swelling and even disintegration of coatings), but also mold growth and unpleasant odors. Externally: alteration of the materials and in particular disintegration of the coatings, carbonization of the concrete and possible oxidation of its (steel) reinforcement. What is rising damp?
