Moisture and Water Ingress

In most cases, the source of penetrating damp comes from outside the building. There are various common causes of moisture entry and water ingress in your property, including:
  • Exterior Walls with Cracked Render
  • Badly Decayed Exterior Brickwork, including Missing Mortar
  • Leaking or Damaged Guttering
  • Damaged Roofs Leaking through Cavity Walls
  • Uncapped Chimneys and Chimney Pots

Signs of Penetrating Damp

Typically, penetrating damp will cause random wet patches to appear on the inner walls, usually at higher levels. There may also be yellow staining marks where the wall has dried after being wet from rainfall. This staining will come from the plaster. Below you will find two different examples of penetrating damp:
