Rising damp though rare is a thing - a few years back there was loads of companies that have all gone bust offering 30 year guarantees. I was fooled it is true but my post was really about how such guarantees work not about the existence or not of rising damp -
There's really no such thing as rising damp. Try as an experiment standing a brick upright in a pail of water and see how far the water actually rises through the brick and above the height of the water line. Why should gravity be overcome by a brick? Where are the capillaries in a brick to force the water upwards against gravity? Bricks aren't like kitchen towel. Most damp is either condensation or water coming in from above, or from broken or leaking pipework. Or through failing window fittings. Damp can travel sideways of course, but very rarely upwards. -
The builders guarantee system is quite fraught. I had a 10 year guarantee for correction of rising damp; within 18 months. The symptoms returned and I was told by the tradesman who returned on an inspection visit that the symptoms this time were not caused by rising damp they were caused by condensation and so the guarantee did not apply. Without a court battle which would’ve cost thousands there was nothing I could do.
