Damp and cracks

Posted by kate reynell, on
I had a window replaced over four years ago and since then damp has appeared in the wall the window is in; also cracks have appeared, running along the walls. What does this signify, please?

Hi. This could be a couple of problems. It could be that the damp coarse above the window is damaged or the weep holes above the window (if fitted) are blocked. Also the window itself might not be sealed from the outside and rain is driving in. The latter is more common. Hope this helps.
