Penetrating damp by wind driven rain is often associated with infrequent water marks and patches on the interior walls. Usually these patches occur during periods of high winds and rain and when the wind direction drives the rain at an  angle into a porous section of the wall.

More commonly found on walls that face the south westerly winds penetrating damp is caused by water being forced under the pressure of the wind against porous stone and brick. A property with an exposed gable wall can be particularly prone to this as can walls that are high up, on a hill for example.

We have several systems that successfully solve this problem and are equally suitable for both brick and stone construction. Before recommending a cure however it is wise to firstly check that the roof tiles and any guttering/downpipes are sound and window seals are intact as these can sometimes account for the ingress of water.

If you have a problem of penetrating damp or wet patches on external walls then we would be delighted to hear from you. You can either PHONE US on 01908 516366 or if you prefer, EMAIL US by using the contact button on the right of the page.
