Streatham homes and ground levels
Why low-level damp needs a building-specific survey
Streatham combines Victorian and Edwardian terraces, interwar semis, mansion flats and converted houses. Front gardens changed to hardstanding, raised rear patios, rendered plinths and blocked sub-floor vents can all affect moisture at the base of walls.
Along Streatham High Road, Mitcham Lane, Greyhound Lane, Leigham Court Road and Streatham Common North, the relationship between internal damage and outside levels is often as important as the age of the existing DPC.

- Wallpaper lifting or paint blistering along the bottom of a wall
- Plaster becoming soft, hollow or powdery behind skirting level
