Penetrating damp is a type of moisture problem that occurs when water penetrates through the walls or roof of a building, and causes dampness or water damage to the interior. This type of damp can occur in any part of a building that is exposed to the elements, such as walls, ceilings, floors, and roofs. Common causes of penetrating damp include damaged or missing roof tiles, defective guttering or downpipes, cracked or porous masonry, faulty seals around doors or windows, and poor ventilation. When water enters a building through any of these openings, it can lead to damp patches, peeling wallpaper, blistering paint, or even structural damage if left untreated. To prevent or treat penetrating damp, it's important to identify the source of the problem and fix any defects or openings that are allowing water to penetrate the building. This may involve repairing or replacing damaged roof tiles, improving guttering or downpipes, filling in cracks in masonry, or installing better seals around doors and windows. It's also important to ensure that the building has adequate ventilation to allow moisture to escape.

BUYING A PROPERTY? 🏡 Knowing its construction type—Solid Wall, Cavity Wall, or Timber Frame—can influence insulation, energy efficiency, and future renovations. The good news? You don’t always need an expert; a simple visual inspection can reveal a lot! 🔍 ✅ Solid Walls: •Look for alternating brick patterns •Often found in homes pre-1920s, these walls are thinner (~220mm). •Older Homes especially those built before the 1920s are more likely to be solid brick ✅ Cavity Walls: •Bricks laid with long sides (stretchers) only. •Spot weep holes near the base for moisture drainage. •Thicker walls (~250mm, including cavity). ✅ Timber Frames: •External cladding may have vertical gaps (perpends) for ventilation. •Hollow sounds or flexibility in walls can be a clue. •Inspect loft areas or sockets for visible timber structures. For more details, our full guide will help you to spot these construction types with ease!

𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 In the latest video post on The Build Review (Advanced Building Network), we’re discussing a detail of roof insulation that I prefer: exterior roof insulation along with soffits, also known as overhangs. The challenge with soffits/overhangs is maintaining a perfect thermal envelope around the building. While it might be easier to eliminate soffits or overhangs, I firmly believe in their necessity. They protect the walls, windows, and doors from the sun and heavy downpours, whilst also making it simpler to control the interior environment in summer. Let's explore this more modern insulation method with Matt Risinger and discover why he chose it on his own building project. #Construction #Insulation #RoofInsulation #ThermalPerformance #MonopolyBuild #Soffits #GoodDesign #SustainableDevelopment #EnergyEfficiency #ThermalEnvelope #AffordableHousing

At Ram Builders Stucco and Exteriors, we believe that exterior projects require not only skill and attention to detail but also the right materials and methods for long-term success. One critical aspect of our process is embedding fiberglass mesh into the stucco's skim coat, which significantly reduces the risk of cracking and ensures a more durable finish. By incorporating this step into our projects, we not only protect the home’s exterior but also enhance its longevity. Our method isn’t just a temporary fix – we focus on sustainable solutions to save homeowners from costly repairs down the road. Whether you're facing exterior damage or planning a renovation, our expert team is ready to bring years of experience to your project. From stucco repair to concrete resurfacing and exterior remodeling, we’ve got you covered. Watch the video to learn more about how fiberglass mesh works and why it’s the superior choice for protecting your home!

#cracking Have you noticed cracks on your walls? 🤔 Don’t worry, but it’s important to understand their cause. Wall cracks are common in many homes, but if they spread or worsen, they may indicate a bigger issue. What are Wall Cracks? Wall cracks are gaps or splits that appear on the surface of walls, either horizontally or vertically. They can range from tiny cracks that are barely noticeable to large cracks that affect the appearance and structural integrity of the home. What Causes Wall Cracks? 🤨 1️⃣ Weather Changes 🌡️: Extreme temperature fluctuations, from heat to cold, can cause materials like concrete or plaster to expand and contract, leading to cracks. 2️⃣ Ground Movement and Soil 🌍: Variations in the soil beneath the house or settling of the ground can cause shifts in the foundation, resulting in wall cracks. 3️⃣ Construction Issues 🏗️: Poor-quality materials or incorrect construction methods may lead to cracks due to a lack of structural stability. 4️⃣ Moisture and Water 💧: Water leakage from pipes or rain penetration can cause deterioration of the wall materials, leading to cracks. 5️⃣ Internal Movement of the Building ⚖️: Natural settling of the building or gradual shrinkage over time can result in cracks, especially in older buildings. Follow me to learn more about cracks and how to recognize their danger. #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #HomeMaintenance #WallCracks #CrackRepair #HomeTips #ArchitecturalDesign #HomeProblems

💧Basement waterproofing is the process of preventing water from entering and damaging a basement. This is important because water infiltration can lead to issues like mold growth, structural damage, and poor indoor air quality. There are various methods used to waterproof basements, such as: 💧 Installing interior or exterior drainage systems 💧Professionally installing waterproofing systems 💧Applying sealants or waterproof coatings to walls and floors, and 💧Addressing issues with proper grading and landscaping to direct water away from the foundation. Proper basement waterproofing helps to keep the space dry, healthy, and safe for both the occupants and the structure itself 💧

Exterior insulation, weather resistant barrier, and airtight layer all-in-one. The Zip r6 sheathing from @huberwood does all this (after taping and flashing of course). Exterior insulation has been likened to a sweater or coat that fully surrounds the exterior providing continuous thermal bridge from the outside to inside. This is one of the most important components that should be in every home. Not all exterior insulations are the same however. Zip r6 panels are 1-1/2” and provide an r-value or 6.6. This far beats the cheap white foam the stucco subcontractors use (by far most common install method for Arizona). This will equate to less energy usage and a far more comfortable environment for the occupants. Why build a house that is built using the same materials and techniques as a tract house? Nothing is different other than the finishes. It’s been the same way for years 🎶 We strive to be at the cutting edge of building science. We build better because you deserve better. #longliveourbuildings Build @beckettconstruction Architect @designtank.co Interiors @reneesimondesign

The Key to Durable Commercial Exteriors in Florida In Florida’s extreme climate—where heavy rains, high humidity, and hurricane-force winds put buildings to the test—proper flashing between dissimilar cladding materials is essential. Without it, water intrusion, air leaks, and structural damage can compromise the integrity of a commercial building. Best practices for long-lasting performance: ✔ Use durable, flexible flashing materials that accommodate material expansion and contraction ✔ Incorporate transition flashing to create watertight seals between stucco, glazing, and stone ✔ Design for effective drainage with weep holes, drip edges, and sloped designs ✔ Select compatible sealants to reinforce flashing and prevent failures Florida’s climate demands expert solutions. The Raynor Co. Group ensures your commercial framing, stucco, and exterior finishes meet the highest standards for durability, efficiency, and compliance. 📞 Contact us today to learn how we can protect your next project. https://lnkd.in/e2aUbkfn #BuildingEnvelope #ConstructionExcellence #Stucco #Glazing #StoneCladding #CommercialConstruction #WaterproofingSolutions #BuildingDurability #ArchitecturalDesign #RaynorCoGroup
