water penetration
Water penetration refers to the process where water seeps through materials like concrete, brick, or wood, often due to cracks, porous surfaces, or damage. This infiltration can lead to problems such as structural deterioration, mold growth, and interior damage. Factors like weather, age of the building, and quality of materials influence water penetration. Proper sealing, waterproofing, and maintenance help prevent water from penetrating, protecting buildings and surfaces from moisture-related issues. Understanding this process is essential for ensuring the durability and integrity of structures exposed to water or humidity.
