Steam blowing onto house wall

It won't harm the wall, i would be more worried about it getting in the loft, just divert it up from the fence if you really think its doing anything, but if the wood roof sofit is fine then its probably not doing anything worse than a foggy day. Do get a C0 alarm.


The is no drip loop on that cable or sealant around the entry points !

Take the trellis down, seal the holes and clear the gutter.

The are 3 steps at the front gate, Is the render not breaching the DPC, if the was one?

I'm sorry I don't understand what "DPC" means?

Damp proof course I assume

The Damp proof course would likely be just above the 2 vents if they are under the floor and not room vents someone has added to deal with damp.


Also look like next door has had their render hacked off?

We had a long discussion with our neighbour yesterday and he was not aware of the issue with the flume (he only bought in March 23) and also that house was not rendered on one side!

Anyway he is going to get a plumber to sort out the steam so that it isn't directed at our house anymore. 

Thanks everyone ☺️

That's good but I doubt it's the root cause of your issue.

What a nice neighbour. A good start to the future.

At least that will prove or eliminate that feature.
