Damp problems can appear as staining, tide marks, peeling paint, damaged plaster, mould or persistent musty smells. However, the visible symptom does not necessarily identify the actual source of moisture.
Possible causes include rising damp, penetrating damp, defective or bridged damp proof courses, high external ground levels, plumbing defects and water ingress.
Raynes Park has a mixture of residential property types, including older houses, terraces, flats and later developments. Changes to gardens, paving, paths, extensions and external ground levels can sometimes affect how moisture is prevented from entering the building.
Atruss Preservation's published approach is to inspect the property before recommending remedial work. The company states that external areas are inspected for defects and bridged DPCs before internal wall testing is undertaken where appropriate. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
