The Kota Tua area of Jakarta in Indonesia is known as an area with many heritage buildings. Most of the heritage buildings in Kota Tua are vulnerable to damage. One of the potential risks to the buildings is a capillary rise, which is known as a natural event. The capillary process may threaten the construction by the high dampness on the walls, caused by rising damp of water from the ground. Besides, the risk of salt attacks carried over the wall’s surface will further cause more damage. All the physical condition degradation in heritage buildings makes the water rise quickly to wall building. This research is an observational study that measured the capillary rise level on the walls located in Jakarta’s old city area. Cipta Niaga building was used as a sample in this case report study. The research has used exchange methods by using the Gravimetric (Oven drying) Method BRE Digest 245 to determine the destruction caused by capillarity. Based on our result, there was a particular dampness wall area caused by capillary rise and was proved by the percentage of Capillary Moisture Content (CMC) 2,94 % higher than its Hygroscopic Moisture Content (HMC) 2,06%.

印度尼西亚雅加达的哥打图阿地区以拥有众多文物建筑而著称。哥打图阿的大部分文物建筑都容易受到损坏。建筑物的潜在风险之一是毛细上升，这被称为自然事件。毛细过程可能会威胁到墙壁上的高湿度，这是由于地面上的水分上升造成的。此外，盐渍侵蚀墙体表面的风险将进一步造成更大的破坏。文物建筑的所有物理条件退化使水迅速上升到墙体建筑。这项研究是一项观察性研究，测量了雅加达老城区墙壁上的毛细上升水平。在本案例报告研究中，Cipta Niaga 大楼被用作样本。该研究通过使用重量（烘箱干燥）方法 BRE Digest 245 使用交换方法来确定由毛细作用引起的破坏。根据我们的结果，存在由毛细上升引起的特定湿壁区域，并且毛细水分含量 (CMC) 的百分比比其吸湿性水分含量 (HMC) 的 2.06% 高 2.94%。
