Damp still coming through - after external wall fix

[ShellyK]

I had a crack in the gutter and a hole in the wall beneath it. Both were fixed 2 days ago.

An internal wall was soaking -it has improved, but I have just been through and there is definitely more dampness coming through.

It is an old very thick stone building. My question is - would there have been water in the walls when the fix was done, and that's what is still coming through. Additional question - it has been very cold - is it possible the water in the wall froze and now that I have the central heating on full blast it is melting and coming through.

Basically I just want to know if the vast quantities of money I paid to get my the cause of my wet wall fixed - fixed A problem, but not THE problem, or am I just being impatient?

I think initially it would be a good idea to see that your gutter repair is actually working, and water isn’t overflowing and cascading behind and down the wall.
It does take a while for the wall to dry out completely but you should see progress almost immediately.
A pic or two could help us here!

OP,
Why not post pics showing the claimed repairs on the outside, and whatever is going on in the inside?
