Penetrating Damp London
Penetrating Damp Survey in London
Penetrating damp is the most under-diagnosed cause of internal damp in London — obscured by decorative finishes and often blamed on rising damp or condensation. Our surveys trace the actual moisture pathway using external inspection, thermal imaging and profile readings, so the fix targets the real defect.
What Your Survey Includes
- External elevation, roof-line and parapet inspection where accessible
- Thermal imaging to map moisture pathways behind finishes
- Moisture profile readings across affected areas
- Assessment of pointing, render, flashings, cavities and rainwater goods
- Prioritised remedial recommendations with photographic evidence
Common Problems We Find
- Failed pointing on solid-wall Victorian terraces on exposed elevations
- Parapet and chimney flashings failing after cladding or roof works
- Cavity-wall insulation bridging causing damp cold spots
- Bay-window roof and cill leaks staining internal reveals
- Blocked or leaking gutters and downpipes tracking into the wall
