Rain water seeping through outside walls

Walls get damp inside every monsoon, or the outside paint stains and peels.

Why it happens

  • Hairline cracks in the outside plaster
  • Old paint that no longer keeps water out
  • Gaps around windows, pipes and joints

Signs to look for

  • Damp patches on the inside of outside walls
  • Stains and streaks on the facade
  • Algae and peeling after the rains
