How do I know if I have rising damp?
How do I know if I have rising damp in my lounge? I noticed my external walls are quite cold the touch and I have started to see mould along one wall in the lounge where it appears to be damp.

"Hello,
If you have rising damp the active mould growth will not growth above 1.5/2.0m up the internal wall from ground level, this usually develops when the DPM (damp proof membrane is failing).
Thanks
