Re: Outdoor Wall Paint

Hi @Goldy,

 

The simplest explanation is that you have moisture in the structure, and it's trying to force its way out. This is a little concerning since it's trying to permeate through the paint and also likely trying to find a way out at the rear of the columns on the house side.

 

I'd imagine the moisture is entering the facade at the top. Can you get up there and take a picture of the top section? I'd imagine that the top of the facade is compromised with a crack, and sitting water on the flat surface is finding its way down into the wall. 

 

I'd be keen to see some images from above so I can further help with addressing this issue.
