Understanding Wall Seepage: Causes and Effects<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is Wall Seepage?<\/b><\/h3>\n

It is one of the most common structural issues that Indian homeowners face during monsoon season.<\/span> Also known as water leakage, <\/span>water, be it from<\/span> rain or a pipeline, finds its way inside walls through cracks, gaps, and porous materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Causes Wall Seepage?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The cause of water leakage from any wall is the use of cheap raw materials during the wall construction. It can also be due to poor waterproofing measures during construction. Since the external concrete walls get exposed to the outdoor elements, prolonged contact with the rainwater can lead to cracks, causing water or moisture to s<\/span>eep into the walls and, thereby, resulting in damping the walls. Also, the absence of plaster or any protective layer on the outdoor walls can lead to seepage. Besides rainwater, water from your sewage lines, bathroom, kitchen, or water tank can leak and cause seepage issues. Several more causes of<\/span> water leaking from the wall are there, like the absence of a proper drainage pipe system, which can cause dampness to your walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Effects of Water Leaking from the Wall<\/b><\/h3>\n
