Penetrating damp
Rain Penetration (also known as "penetrating damp") is a common form of dampness in buildings. It can occur through walls, roofs, or through openings (e.g. window reveals). Water will often penetrate the outer envelope of a building and appear inside. Common defects include:
* Roof defects such as faulty flashing, cracked or missing slates or tiles.
* Faults in the brickwork or masonry such as missing or cracked pointing. Porous bricks or stones.
* Missing or defective mastic around windows and doors.
* Blocked weep holes.
* Missing or defective trays in cavity walls.
