Damp proofing - Bridging & Penetrating damp
Project type
Damp-proofing
Date
Jan 2024
Location
Caswell - Swansea
This is a case of bridging and penetrating damp.
When the plaster or render has been applied to the base of the wall with no gap, the material will absorb any moisture or water that aggregates on the ground and you have a situation that creates a bridge from the floor to the wall. This is particularly damaging if there is no Damp Proof Course in the wall.
The penetrating damp was caused by large screws drilled into the wall from the exterior side, and water seeping through via the screws.
