- Blocked ventilation
Attempting DIY fixes for rising damp can lead to short-lived results or inadvertently worse structural issues which address underlying issues rather than just surface symptoms.
Is rising damp common in Brisbane and the Gold Coast?
Yes. Due to the coastal climate, high humidity, and older housing stock, rising damp is a frequent issue in both regions.
Rising damp Brisbane is especially common in Brisbane due to the region’s humid climate, clay-rich soils, and prevalence of older homes built without modern damp-proofing systems. Many properties in inner-city suburbs and heritage areas were constructed before damp-proof courses became standard, allowing moisture to rise through porous brick or masonry walls. Seasonal rainfall and poor subfloor ventilation further contribute to persistent damp conditions.
How do I choose the right damp proofer near me?
