Diagnosis before treatment

Low-level damp can resemble rising damp without having the same cause. At a Richmond upon Thames property, the inspection should consider the moisture pattern, wall construction, existing damp proof course, external ground levels, rainwater defects and possible plumbing leaks before a repair is specified.

Where the diagnosis supports remedial work, salt-contaminated plaster may need to be removed, the appropriate damp-proofing treatment installed and the wall reinstated with a compatible specification. This joined-up approach addresses both the moisture route and the damaged internal finish.
