A rising damp company in Wigan is needed when you experience rising damp in your home. Rising damp is a problem that can affect both external and internal walls. The source of dampness could be from ground water. The bricks and mortar in the dry upper parts of the wall acts like a sponge and draws water upwards. A rising damp company should be contacted immediately if you notice a rising damp problem. To deal with rising damp, the plaster of the affected wall has to be removed to get rid of hygroscopic salts like chloride and nitrate. Once the wall has had all the damaged plaster removed, a new layer of plaster has to be applied using a specific re-plastering technique to combat any future rising damp.
