Water does not require a large opening to enter, and many areas of the house that appear to have a small crack can actually grow over time from heat, water and movement of the structure and will allow moisture to penetrate the concrete beneath. From the moment water enters, it does so in a silent way. The ceiling develops damp patches, walls start to peel back the plaster and in severe cases the steel reinforcement bars inside the concrete begin to rust, thereby compromising the structure.
