Rising damp is problem that can potentially affect any building, and can appear on both internal and external walls. Usually rising damp is found in older homes where the damp proof course has been damaged. Damp problems are one of the most frequent problems encountered in homes.
If your internal plasterwork is exposed to damp then eventually the plaster will break and will need to be replaced. In order to do this, the existing plaster will need to be removed and a new sand and cement render applied together with the appropriate waterproofing additive. Once this has been completed the walls can then be skimmed with the new plaster.
