AnSe2019Hello everyone,
Quick question. Is it normal for this much moisture to constantly pass through the wall? The roof with roofing felt has been completed for about 4 weeks. The windows have been installed for nearly 2 weeks, but there are no exterior window sills yet. Could it be that the rain is seeping through the brickwork and into the insulation behind it? We are simply unsettled by the amount of moisture. We have already asked a few people, and they said it is normal. The site manager also says it is normal, of course.
What do your garages look like at this time of year during the shell construction phase? I wonder how the plaster is supposed to hold if it is supposedly normal for that much moisture to come through. On the far left, you can see a small dry area for comparison.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.
Regards,
Andi
