Douglas Borough Council is awaiting Treasury approval for a £17million project to renovate the Willaston estate.
It follows a successful pilot scheme to eradicate damp issues within the public sector houses.
It's hoped 215 properties will recieve the external refurbishment over a five-year period.
Councillor David Ashford says the damage caused by water is awful in some cases:
