Hi all

Looks like I may be in for a tussle with the insurance company!
They are trying to avoid paying for a drying operation on the grounds that
they believe damp in our concrete floor is caused by a damaged dpm.

The question is, can we still get rising damp through a concrete floor due
to a compromised dpm, when we live at the top of a hill?
Does this damp require high levels of ground water, or does it just need
contact with damp soil?
Damp is showing between our plastic underlay and the top of the concrete
floor slab.

TIA

Phil
