External wall damage

External wall damp, also known as penetrating damp, is when water enters a building horizontally through cracks or porous materials in the walls, roof, or below ground. The water can soak into absorbent materials like masonry, leaving damp patches on the inside of the wall.

If left untreated, lateral damp can cause significant damage to a building, including:
Structural damage: Lateral damp can damage floors that touch soil, erode building materials, and harm the foundation.
Electrical hazards: Dampness can make electric sockets dangerous.
Health issues: Moisture can cause condensation and mold, which can lead to health problems.
