Expert diagnosis and treatment for water ingress through walls and roofs is essential for addressing damp problems effectively.
Penetrating damp (also known as lateral damp) occurs when water penetrates through the external walls of a property from the outside, leading to various damp issues that require professional damp proofing services. Unlike rising damp which comes from the ground, penetrating damp is caused by water entering the building fabric through defects in the walls, roof, or windows.
This type of damp can affect properties of any age and is often more noticeable during periods of heavy rainfall. It can cause significant damage to internal finishes and create unhealthy living conditions if left untreated.
