Understanding Exterior Waterproofing: Causes, Damage, and Treatment Options

Causes of Exterior Waterproofing Issues

Exterior waterproofing is crucial for protecting your property from water ingress and damage. Issues often arise due to several key factors:

  • Poor Drainage: Inadequate drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation of a building, increasing the risk of water penetration and damage.

  • Damp Soil: Soil that retains excessive moisture can put pressure on walls and foundations, leading to water ingress if not properly managed.

  • Cracked Walls and Foundations: Cracks in the external walls or foundation can allow water to seep into the building, leading to internal dampness and potential structural issues.

  • Faulty Gutters and Downpipes: Clogged or damaged gutters and downpipes can cause rainwater to overflow and direct water towards the building’s foundations, increasing the risk of water damage.

Damage Caused by Exterior Waterproofing Issues

When exterior waterproofing is compromised, it can lead to a range of problems affecting both the building’s structure and its interior environment:

  • Water Ingress: Uncontrolled water entry through cracks and damaged areas can lead to damp patches on walls, ceilings, and floors, creating an environment conducive to mould growth and wood decay.

  • Structural Damage: Persistent water infiltration can weaken foundations and structural elements, causing potential subsidence or compromising the building’s stability.

  • Erosion of Building Materials: Continuous exposure to moisture can erode building materials, such as brickwork and stone, leading to deterioration and increased maintenance costs.

  • Interior Damage: Water ingress can cause damage to interior finishes, including peeling paint, stained carpets, and damaged furniture, affecting the overall aesthetics and comfort of your living space.

Avoid Ingress

If waterproofing is done incorrectly, moisture can build up, causing structural damage to the building.

At Acorn, we have more than 20 years' experience, so we can provide you with a complete survey and advise the best course of action to remedy the problem. 

If there are elements that we can't do ourselves, like the roofing and structural repairs we can recommend tradesmen that will be able to help remedy the problem
