Does anyone out there know how to treat rising damp.?I have an old federation house that only has a 30cm clearance between the dirt ground and the joists. The kauri pine boards are visibly wet in some places. I've had a builder pull up some of the boards and put plastic flashing under the joists. It hasn't worked. Is the air so saturated with humidity it is going into the joists?...what is the best solution because I've just about given up! I've tried putting more vents in the bricks but it hasn't helped.
