Abstract: We investigate the behaviour of the mean size of directed compact percolation clusters near a damp wall in the low-density region, where sites in the bulk are wet (occupied) with probability p while sites on the wall are wet with probability pw. Methods used to find the exact solution for the dry case (pw=0) and the wet case (pw=1) turn out to be inadequate for the damp case. Instead we use a series expansion for the pw=2p case to obtain a second order inhomogeneous differential equation satisfied by the mean size, which exhibits a critical exponent gamma=2, in common with the wet wall result. For the more general case of pw=rp, with r rational, we use a modular arithmetic method of finding ODEs and obtain a fourth order homogeneous ODE satisfied by the series. The ODE is expressed exactly in terms of r. We find that in the damp region 0<r<2 the critical exponent gammamdamp=1, in common with the dry wall result.
