Abstract
It is difficult to be certain that dampness problems are caused by rain penetration: symptoms can be misleading and sometimes more than one defect is involved. Even if rain penetration is the cause, it can be hard to pinpoint the exact route the water is taking. This guide contains advice on diagnosing and remedying the problem. There is particular emphasis on rain penetration through walls because it can be particularly difficult to resolve.
