Rising damp investigation for Kingswood homes
Kingswood includes detached and semi-detached family houses, period properties, bungalows and later developments. Sloping plots, rendered walls, raised drives, patios and altered floor levels can bridge an existing damp proof course or create symptoms that resemble rising damp.
Around Kingswood village, Waterhouse Lane, Kingswood Warren and the roads towards Tadworth and Chipstead, low-level moisture should be assessed alongside external ground levels, sub-floor ventilation, rainwater disposal and the wall construction.

Rising damp symptoms
Signs to investigate at ground-floor level
Symptoms are assessed together because condensation, leaks and bridged DPCs can imitate rising damp.
- A horizontal tide mark or staining low down on ground-floor walls
- Flaking paint, loose skirtings or crumbling plaster near floor level
- White hygroscopic salt deposits returning through decorations
- Moisture associated with a bridged, missing or ineffective damp proof course
