This is a problem that used to be traditionally found with old building as they begin to weaken. Finding this in new houses is just an example of shoddy or overlooked construction. More often when repaired it becomes worse.

An opinion on why this happens by a builder, is that the materials used for construction in Mumbai have a large amount of salinity. This has to be negated before these materials are used in the construction of the house. If this is ignored then the salinity makes the walls leaky. In the case of a house already built with such materials, there is a chemical method of treating this, which if done right can solve up to 95 per cent of one’s leakage problems.
