Stop Moisture from Climbing Up Your Walls
Rising damp is a serious issue that can silently damage your home from the ground up. It occurs when groundwater travels upward through capillary action into brick, mortar, or concrete walls, leading to paint damage, wall dampness, structural decay, and even health problems due to mold and fungi.
At Dr. Guard Waterproofing, we provide expert solutions for rising damp waterproofing in Hyderabad, using advanced chemical injection and damp-proofing techniques to permanently block moisture from affecting your walls.
What is Rising Damp?
Rising damp happens when moisture from the ground moves upward through porous building materials. This issue is common in older buildings or in properties without proper damp-proof courses (DPC). It usually affects the lower part of walls, causing plaster damage, efflorescence, paint bubbling, and foul smells.
Signs of Rising Damp
- Peeling or bubbling paint on lower walls
- White powdery deposits (efflorescence)
- Damp, cold walls near floor level
- Mold and mildew at wall bottoms
- Damaged skirting boards or plaster
Our Rising Damp Treatment Process
- Inspection & Moisture Diagnosis
We assess moisture levels and locate the extent of rising damp using damp meters. - Surface Cleaning & Removal

We inject silane/siloxane-based waterproofing chemicals into the wall base to block capillary moisture rise. - Waterproof Replastering
Special salt-resistant render and waterproof plaster are reapplied to ensure a dry, durable surface. - Final Finishing
Wall finishing with primer, putty, and paint once the surface is fully dried.
