Frequently Asked QuestionsRising and Penetrating Damp FAQs -------------------------------- ### Do you treat both rising damp and penetrating damp? Yes. They have different causes, so we diagnose first and then apply the right treatment for the specific issue. ### Can penetrating damp come from outside defects? Yes. Defective pointing, cracks, failed seals, gutters, and other envelope issues can all contribute to penetrating damp. ### Will repainting solve damp patches? Not if the moisture source remains. Cosmetic work alone usually fails when the root cause has not been fixed.
