Waterproofing / Site problem guide

External wall dampness

Internal paint blisters or salts appear after rain.

A practical decision sequence

Diagnose the cause, then verify the repair.

Use the site evidence to agree a project-specific method with the responsible engineer, concrete producer, manufacturer or specialist applicator.

01 / Symptom

What is happening?

Internal paint blisters or salts appear after rain.

02 / Inspect and test

Evidence to collect

Map rain exposure, cracks, parapets, façade joints and service penetrations.

03 / Likely mechanism

Why it can fail

Water may enter high above the visible patch and travel behind finishes.

04 / Technical response

Choose the system

Repair cracks and façade details, then choose a breathable or barrier system appropriate to substrate and exposure.

05 / Site execution

Control the application

Prepare sound surfaces and treat joints and window interfaces before broad coating.

06 / Acceptance

Verify the result

Use a staged spray test and moisture monitoring to confirm the source is controlled.

Avoid this shortcut

Do not seal a damp interior face before tracing external entry and drying path.

These guides are editorial starting points, not a project specification. Confirm the design, product data, substrate conditions and inspection plan for the actual site.
