Is this normal on new pebbledashing?
Jun 2^nd, 2019, 4:45pm

I'm concerned about the pebble dash on a recently built house that I'm looking to purchase. After a couple of hours of rain the surface develops damp patches as if the water is soaking in. The pebbledashing was done about 5 months ago. Has anybody seen this happen before? Is it going to cause problems with the rendering if left or do I need to treat it with something like Thompsons Waterseal?

It's a shame the overhang on the slabs is so small as I think that might've helped. I'll try some water sealant on it but it looks like it's something I'll just have to live with.
