How long to leave a damp wall before painting?

SB Decorations knows very well that you cannot paint on a damp wall without potentially serious consequences. First of all, painting on wet walls without treatment will allow wet stains to continue to damage the walls. This will occur under the new coat of paint, and over time, the new paint will become wet. When painting on a wet area, you should always use a specialized paint. Paints designed for moisture usually have properties that also treat the problem and prevent it from reappearing.

They also allow moisture to escape, meaning it won't build up. So, if you've solved the root cause, using a specially formulated wet paint should stop the problem forever.
