How Do I Deal With Penetrating Damp?

Penetrating damp creates damp walls and can cause a number of detrimental affects to internal finishes. It is always imperative to diagnose the cause of the dampness, for instance in a damp cellar it will usually be because the external ground levels are higher which means that earth bearing against the structure makes the wall damp. Above the ground buildings in exposed locations or that have porous building substrate can suffer from moisture penetration.
