Wet wall

[DC1977]

Hi

below these rear windows I have noticed the wall/plinth getting wet during any heavy rain. I’ve noticed the drips on these windows are not very deep. The render had something out in it to keep water out (?) but should I be concerned about water getting through in the near future?

walls get wet . life goes on. ground level should be 75mm lower than the vent.

Window overhang does not look enough, also ground level is too high.

Any suggestions? Other than taking out patio? And can’t change drips….

there was water repellant used in rendering. Any chance might be ok?

So just because external wall getting wet might not be a problem? Patio falls away from house too even though ground level higher than should be?

tile it with a slate effect porcelain or ceramic tile. job done. will match your window nice.
chances are water could penetrate the block in winter.
