 Water ingress in your home is when water from outside makes its way into your home. There are a few common areas in the UK where this happens including:

• Leaking roofs- we get a lot of rain in the UK and rain can make its way into your home via holes in your roof, sometimes this will only happen with driving rain when it is incredibly windy. It is a good idea to get your roof checked out as your roof may need some attention, even if it is only a slipped or missing roof tile.

• Broken or blocked gutters- You will often see marks on ceilings or the upper part of your walls and see a tide water mark. Blocked gutters allow rain to spill over the guttering into the top-floor rooms of your property.

• Holes in walls- Over time mortar joint in your brickwork starts to degrade which allows damp to penetrate into your property, re-pointing of the mortar joints is the solution to this issue. It can also be caused by cracks in rendering on the outside of the property or even a small hole where a TV aerial feeds through the wall. 

• Failed window frames- Old window frames can let in water causing damp, sealing in around the edge of the frames and checking the rubber seals in the case of uPVC windows is needed if you find damp or water coming through a closed window.
