👉solutions for damp walls:

🚧Incorrect Situation

- Rainwater flows directly onto the wall.
- Causes structural damage and mold growth.
- Lack of proper detailing leads to moisture penetration.
- Wall surface remains exposed to continuous wetting.

🚧Correct Situation

- Rainwater is diverted away from the wall.
- Use of metal flashing / drip edge prevents water seepage.
- Upstand/Empend provides a barrier against moisture.
- Roof slab detailing ensures effective protection.
- Results in long-term durability and moisture resistance.

💧 Solution for Damp Walls

Water leakage at roof edges is one of the most common reasons for damp walls, cracks, and mold growth.

🔴 Incorrect Method:
Without proper metal flashing or drip edge, rainwater flows directly over the roof slab and down the wall surface. This leads to seepage, structural damage, and unhealthy mold formation inside the building.

🟢 Correct Method:
Providing a proper metal flashing / drip edge (Babeta) at the roof edge redirects rainwater away from the wall. This simple detailing prevents moisture penetration and protects the structure for long-term durability.

✅ Small detailing = Big protection!
Always ensure proper roof edge treatment to avoid costly repairs in the future.
