What is Penetrating Damp & Why Fix It Fast?
Penetrating damp occurs when water enters a building through walls, roofs, or window reveals—usually due to damaged brickwork, render, pointing, or guttering. Left untreated, it can lead to mould growth, rotting timbers, damaged plaster, and unhealthy indoor air. At Penetrating Damp Perth and Kinross, we diagnose and repair the root cause—not just the symptoms. Whether it's a leaking wall, cracked render, or water-stained ceiling, we provide lasting solutions to protect your home or property from structural damage.
