What Causes Water Ingress?
As a provider of water ingress services, we observed that water seepage can be caused by various factors, ranging from structural issues to environmental conditions such as:
Roofing Problems
Damaged or aging roofing materials, such as missing or cracked tiles, deteriorated shingles, or compromised flashing, can allow water to seep into the underlying structure.
Cracks and Gaps
Cracks in walls, foundations, and joints allow water to infiltrate the building. These cracks can result from settling, thermal expansion and contraction, or structural movement.
Poorly Sealed Openings
Improperly sealed windows, doors, vents, and utility penetrations allow water to enter the building during rainstorms or high winds.
Inadequate Drainage
Insufficient or blocked drainage systems, including gutters, downspouts, and French drains, can cause water to accumulate around the building’s perimeter and penetrate the foundation or basement.
Plumbing Leaks
Leaking pipes, fixtures, and appliances inside the building can lead to water ingress, mainly if the leaks go unnoticed or unrepaired for an extended period.
Condensation
Excessive moisture buildup inside the building due to poor ventilation, high humidity levels, or temperature differentials can result in condensation forming on walls, ceilings, and windows, leading to water damage.
Surface Water Runoff
Improper grading or landscaping around the building can direct surface water toward the foundation, increasing the risk of moisture ingress.
Extreme Weather Events
Severe weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall, hurricanes, or snowmelt, can overwhelm building systems and exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, leading to water seepage.
Building Envelope Failures
Deficiencies in the building envelope, including gaps in exterior cladding, inadequate waterproofing membranes, or compromised sealants, can allow water to penetrate the structure. Identifying the root cause of water ingress is crucial for implementing effective water ingress repairs and preventing further damage to your property.
What Is The Meaning of Water Ingress?
Water ingress or moisture ingress means the unintended entry of water into a building or structure, typically through cracks, gaps, or faulty construction elements. It’s a form of moisture intrusion that can lead to serious problems if not addressed promptly.
- It occurs when external water penetrates walls, roofs, floors, or foundations.
- Common sources include damaged roofing, cracked render, faulty flashing, blocked gutters, and rising damp.
- It’s often associated with penetrating damp, where water moves through building materials into interior spaces.
