Penetrating damp is found where the internal floor levels are below the external ground level, for example, in a basement. The installation of a waterproof tanking system applied to the internal walls is necessary to restore the room to a habitable condition. The process is quite able to cope with the wettest of walls and resist high levels of water pressure, yet still allows water vapour diffusion through the wall. The rendered walls can be finished with a set coat of plaster in the normal way.
