I seek some advice.
We had an extension including back porch built in June. 5 weeks ago (early October) after days of rain we noticed a small wet patch on the red bricks (on pic 1.marked with a star) and pebbledash. This gradually grew larger and with daily rain has become permanent.Then it started penetrating through to the inside wall of the porch
There is a downpipe from the upper roof to the porch and this was facing inwards towards where the porch joins the wall I thought the rainwater might have flowed beneath the flashing.I turned this the opposite way and the builders sealed alongside the flashing. As a temporary bodge I have placed a piece of guttering beneath the downpipe to ensure the flow of water is well away from the side where the wet patch is.
Can anyone identify the source of the wet patch?
