Hello dear homebuilders,
I’m new here and signed up because we have a problem. We moved into our new house in August and had an issue just before Christmas. Due to weeks of rain combined with wind and storms, our interior walls on the weather-exposed side are damp at floor level, about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) high. The construction company says this is caused by the ventilation slots in the brickwork; they have now sealed them and have gone on vacation until January 12th.
Is it possible that rainwater gets through the ventilation slots and reaches the interior walls? I can hardly imagine that.
I would appreciate your help/opinion.
Thank you very much
