The processes at work in walls affected by rising damp are not well enough understood, the author argues. The mechanical, electrical and thermal forces do not behave as laboratory experiments suggest, and control techniques must take account of the fact that old masonry can achieve its own ordered-state, with an increased capacity for 'pumping'.
