How long do i need to wait to plaster or paint my walls after the rising damp is fixed?

It usually takes up to two months before the exisiting moisture in your wall evaporates after the rising damp is eradicated.

Determing factors are:

  • How severe the rising damp is.
  • The make up the wall itself. Type of brick, concrete, stud wall plaster etc
  • The amount of natural ventilation to the area. In a  house that is always closed it will take longer.
  • The amount of sub floor ventilation.

We don’t repair walls damaged by rising damp but we can quote on it after the rising damp is repaired.
