We typically become aware of dampness in a property when we spot telltale signs.
The most common indicators are simple to identify and observe. We often come across persistent wet patches on the walls, flaking paint or wallpaper and crumbling plaster. Black mould staining is also frequently visible on interior walls and ceilings, while they may feel moist to the touch with an accompanying musty smell. However, the bulk of moisture enters through external walls, so can using water-resistant paint for outdoor walls solve this?
For any issues concerning moisture on internal, external, cavity or garden walls, turn to Brighton Damp Treatments. Their experienced and reliable solutions are wallet-friendly; just call 01273 920588 for assistance.
We are all aware that prevention is better than cure. Applying a coat to the outside walls of a building as an preventive measure is highly recommended. If you have neglected this and now face rising or penetrating damp, applying waterproofing paint on the exterior walls after treating it can provide protection for many years ahead.
It is essential to be aware of the limitations of weatherproof paint for outside walls. As mentioned, generally moisture comes into a home from the exterior. Condensation is an exception – this happens when there is too much humidity and inadequate ventilation in a property. Penetrating damp occurs due to structural faults that cause water to get inside interior walls from outdoors. For instance, guttering serves to redirect rain away from the building’s walls. If the guttering cracks, its protective benefits for the walls vanish and they become susceptible to growing damp.
Water naturally rises, and should the damp proof course fail, it would also remove the barrier protecting your home from this rise in water.
This allows damp to climb up your internal walls from outside or even from the ground. By then, it is too late once you’ve detected signs of damp on these walls. Simply applying a coat of damp resistant paint to exterior walls won’t do much either; for an in-depth survey and advice concerning solutions for your property’s damp problems, please call our Damp Proof team at 01273 920588 to schedule an appointment.
For centuries, bricks have been the go-to material for construction due to their permeability. With a sponge-like structure that collects and evaporates moisture, they effectively stop damp from forming.
Modern buildings don’t allow water to permeate their primary constructions; ventilation is used to regulate internal moisture.
The functioning of antiquated structures with solid brick walls is distinct. Bricks absorb and then discharge moisture through their permeable structure, similar to a sponge. Whether it’s external humidity from rainfall or indoor dampness from cooking, cleaning, or washing, the mechanism remains unchanged.
External walls of a building are most exposed to the elements, especially rainfall. Rainwater can seep into a property through cracks or insufficient pointing in the brickwork. Even if there are no flaws, prolonged and heavy rain typical of British weather means external walls don’t have adequate time to dry out and remain moist.
Damaged damp-proof membranes and ineffective damp proof courses can cause water to penetrate the walls, compromising their waterproofing. It is recommended to address any damage caused by water before applying a waterproof paint coating on the wall; this will provide a more lasting solution. To have a damp proof specialist evaluate your building, call us on 01273 920588 and schedule a survey to provide the most beneficial solutions.
A moisture-proof exterior wall coating is often the best option to protect brick and stone structures from dampness and erosion without compromising their appearance or breathability.
Waterproofing exterior walls has numerous advantages. It provides protection against moisture and dampness, increases the lifespan of a wall and reduces heat loss.
Additionally, it can prevent cracking or fading due to extreme temperatures and weather conditions. Finally, waterproofing will help maintain the structural integrity of a wall over time.

Moisture evaporation through brickwork is not equivalent to air moving through walls. Even if a structure is carefully sealed against cold draughts, the bricks can still permit ventilation.
Regulating temperature and moisture in a period home without disrupting the bricks’ natural permeability is best done in this way.
Ventilation is necessary for the removal of stale air and to stop excessive moisture from accumulating and condensing. Installing a PIV unit, for example, can be done cost-effectively.
Penetrating damp is a kind of moisture that infiltrates your property from the exterior. To treat it, restoring the outer wall to an excellent condition is more effective than totally sealing it off.
Water entering through fissures in the brickwork or pointing causes penetrating damp, not absorption of water by bricks. Over time, erosion and weathering can worsen these cracks.
Have your building’s exterior inspected regularly for cracks or rotted pointing, to prevent moisture entering.
