Incoming water and broken pipes Pushing ground- or strata water, water coming in from the sides on hillside locations, splash water in the dato, driving rain and leaky roofs, broken or clogged rain pipes and down pipes or burst pipes in the wall can be the reason for wet or damp walls. Make sure to eliminate these possible causes before ordering a costly wall drying. Some of these causes like broken rain pipes or leaky roofs can pretty easily be spotted. Broken underground pipes can be found with remote controlled cameras. Other problems like the determination between rising- and condensational damp have to be addressed by professionals. Incoming ground- or strata water can more easily be taken care of by guiding it off than to attempt to seal the house. Underground drainage systems can help in watertight clay- and loamy grounds. These systems should only be installed with the help of a professional specialist. Many of the drainage systems either self installed or by companies work poorly or not at all. No matter which method is applied to dry a wall it only makes sense when there is rising damp. |
