Penetrating Damp is also known as 'rain penetration' and can occur through walls, roofs, window or door surrounds. Defects in roof tiles, cracked pointing, blocked weep holes or defective seals allow water to penetrate and enter the property. It is usually caused by water moving through walls from the outside of the building.

There are a number of signs to help determine if your property has penetrating damp, which include: Damaged Internal Decoration; Damaged Plaster; Rotting Skirting Boards and Floor Timbers; Localised Dampness (Random damp patches that do not dry out).
