Penetrating damp is most typically caused by rainwater entering the building through broken or missing roof tiles, faulty guttering, cracked brickwork or rendering and rotting or badly fitting window and door frames. A damp patch on an inside wall or ceiling is often an early sign. It may disappear soon after dry weather returns or may persist, especially if large pieces of masonry have been thoroughly soaked. Mould will develop if the dampness persists and, in severe cases, timber may be attacked by wood-rotting fungi. Leaking water supply or drainage pipes within a building will produce similar symptoms. Most cases of penetrating damp are easily corrected by making the necessary building or plumbing repairs. However, an exception is where there is lateral water penetration through an earth-retaining wall e.g. in a cellar or basement flat. The water pressure is usually so great that several coats of special waterproofing materials are required to hold the water back. This process is called Wall Tanking.
