A greater chance of penetrating damp due to rain

The autumn months are of course known for the high amount of rainfall. If you have not yet ridden a bike when raining, you will be blown off the bike by the strong gusts of wind. There is no better time to stay indoors. After all, it is nice and warm and dry there, right? The wind and heavy rainfall can also be a major attack on your home, especially with porous walls or when the facades are in bad condition. Due to the strong gusts of wind, the rain is blown almost horizontally against the wall and if the outer walls are full of cracks, the water will go straight into the house. This is usually the cause of penetrating damp in the house.

The consequences of penetrating damp in the house

With the large amount of rain, the walls of the house have to endure a lot. Even when the house is equipped with cavity walls, with so much rainwater, you quickly get damp penetrating into the interior walls. This not only causes damp spots on the walls, but also has other unpleasant consequences- like mold in the house, a musty smell or the wallpaper that comes loose from the walls. In most cases you can prevent this problem by treating the outside wall of the house. This can be done by impregnating the walls, applying moisture-resistant paint or using the SmartDry DryBricks.
