Dealing with damp issues

• A musty smell in the house - this is an obvious sign of 'rising damp'.
• Paint and wallpaper may start to lift from the wall surface.
• Brown stains start to appear on the wall.
• Plaster becomes flaky and soft and starts to fall away.
• White powdery or crystalline substances form on surfaces, and timber skirting boards and floorboards start to rot.
• Outside the house, symptoms such as stains and powdery deposits or mortar starting to fall out from between bricks.
