## Damp and timber problems in Bangor

Bangor is coastal, and that changes the problem. Properties on exposed elevations take sustained wind-driven rain off Belfast Lough, which pushes moisture through masonry from the outside rather than drawing it up from the ground.

That is penetrating damp, not rising damp, and the fix is different — breathable masonry waterproofing that repels water while still letting the wall dry outward. Treating it as a ground-water problem wastes money and does not stop the damp.

Salt-laden air also accelerates the decay of pointing and render, which gives water more ways in.

## What we see most here

- Penetrating damp on exposed elevations
- Masonry waterproofing for wind-driven rain
- Wet rot in window and door joinery
