Rising Damp Newcastle is a lead referral service. We connect Newcastle property owners with independent damp specialists holding the appropriate NSW Fair Trading licence. We do not carry out the work ourselves.
Where the mark is and roughly how high it sits. Whether it got worse after a big downpour or whether it has been creeping for years. And whether the wall is shared with next door, because in a terrace that changes both the diagnosis and who needs to be part of the conversation.
Mention it and describe the shape. A crack that steps down through the mortar joints is a different problem to a damp stain, and in Newcastle it can mean ground movement rather than moisture — which may be compensable through Subsidence Advisory NSW. We would rather send you to them than sell you a damp course you do not need. See subsidence or damp.
We ask enough to work out which of the causes fits what you are describing. Several of them are cheaper than rising damp and worth ruling out before anyone visits. If an assessment is the right step we pass your details to an independent damp specialist covering your suburb; they contact you, attend and quote. We are not on site and we do not mark up their price.
Taken square-on, including the floor line. If a building and pest report flagged the damp, that report is the single most useful thing you can send us.
