Watch out for cracks or fissures on the outside of the house, as these are the places where penetrating moisture will enter. You need to ensure that no form of water can enter through the fa\u00e7ade. Maintaining the external fa\u00e7ade is very important, so check for cracks in the grouting or cracks in other places like windows. If you notice any damage, address it immediately so that penetrating moisture does not stand a chance.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Even a dirty fa\u00e7ade or damaged downspouts and gutters or lack of ventilation can cause leaking moisture. It is therefore important to check everything carefully, ventilate and, where necessary, already take preventive care measures. For example, apply a water-repellent product to the exterior wall to protect it from penetrating rainwater.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_child col-lg-6 single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\" ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell triple-block-padding style-color-199793-bg  unradius-std\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h2 class=\"font-673431 fontsize-157814 font-weight-500 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Who should I contact in case of penetrating damp problems?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>In case of penetrating damp problems, it is best to contact a specialised damp expert.

If there are drier periods, the moisture spots may be less obvious. That does not mean the problem is gone. If you don't address the cause of persistent damp, the problem will be visible again during periods of rain or damp weather.

You cannot completely solve a persistent damp problem yourself. However, you can take some preventive steps yourself, such as applying a water-repellent product to the fa\u00e7ade or ventilating sufficiently.

text-color-103889-color\" ><span>For persistent damp, the most common solution is usually fa\u00e7ade impregnation. For this, guide prices in Belgium are usually around \u20ac8 to \u20ac15 per m\u00b2. Some sources give a wider range of \u20ac5 to \u20ac15 per m\u00b2 or \u20ac15 to \u20ac40 per m\u00b2, depending on accessibility, preparation and treatment used for penetrating damp. If more is needed than just impregnating the facade, the cost can be around \u20ac20 to \u20ac40 per m\u00b2. Then it involves damp-proofing paint as a treatment. Every situation is different. Therefore, use a professional diagnosis in order to have the correct cost calculated.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel panel-default wpb_accordion_section group  no-block-padding\"><div class=\"panel-heading wpb_accordion_header ui-accordion-header\"><p class=\"panel-title font-weight- text-   icon-size-rg\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion_9225626\" href=\"#1771242015-2-1717718488993581771850091934\"><span>What to do in case of seepage?<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div id=\"1771242015-2-1717718488993581771850091934\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body wpb_accordion_content ui-accordion-content half-internal-gutter single-block-padding\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>To solve the problem permanently, rely on a professional to use fa\u00e7ade impregnation to protect the fa\u00e7ade. Penetrating moisture enters through damage to the fa\u00e7ade. Check yourself where you notice abnormalities and take temporary measures, such as adequate ventilation, to prevent the moisture problem from spreading further.

Damp penetration can occur on several floors, including bedrooms. On the outside, you will see cracks, porous bricks, damaged joints or damp patches on the fa\u00e7ade in case of damp penetration. On the inside, you mainly see moisture spots that can lead to paint coming loose, damp ceilings, mould spots and an additional musty smell.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel panel-default wpb_accordion_section group  no-block-padding\"><div class=\"panel-heading wpb_accordion_header ui-accordion-header\"><p class=\"panel-title font-weight- text-   icon-size-rg\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion_9225626\" href=\"#1771244130888-3-217718488993581771850091934\"><span>Are there premiums for moisture control?<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div id=\"1771244130888-3-217718488993581771850091934\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body wpb_accordion_content ui-accordion-content half-internal-gutter single-block-padding\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>It depends on the fire insurance you have and the cause of the leaking damp.
