without actually looking at the issue it is impossible to be 100% sure of what is causing your issues, but would try checking the roof felt,tiles, any pipework. ect. unfortunately rising damp is misdiagnosed in over 75% of cases in this country and most damproof solutions are designed to cover up any dampness rather than find what is causing the problem , then fix it. you dont say where about in the country you live if you where close to me I would have a look and tell you what is causing this issue and how to resolve it, good luck Alex
