DAMP & MOULD SPECIALIST · LONDON
Hidden leaks.
Visible damage.
Persistent staining, bubbling paint or damp that keeps returning can be signs of a hidden water source. We investigate the moisture pattern and accessible plumbing to help narrow down where it may be coming from.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
A leak is not always
easy to see.
Water can collect behind a wall, beneath a floor or around concealed fittings before a clear stain appears. A musty smell or a patch that stays damp may be the first sign something needs checking.
We use observations and relevant moisture measurements, with thermal imaging where appropriate, to guide the investigation. Equipment can help locate areas of concern, but concealed sources sometimes need further access before they can be confirmed.
A useful enquiry includes the room, the position of the mark and whether it changes after a nearby fitting is used. Tell us if a leak has already been repaired but the surface remains damp. Moisture assessment after repair can help distinguish remaining damp from further wetting; wet-room checks may be relevant where plumbing and steam overlap.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Questions about
this service.
Can you find every hidden leak without opening anything up?
No inspection can guarantee that. We begin with accessible checks and explain when further access may be necessary.
Does thermal imaging show water directly?
Thermal imaging shows surface temperature differences. Those observations need to be considered with moisture readings and the condition of the property.
What should I tell you before a visit?
Describe the affected area, how long it has been damp and any recent changes to plumbing or the building. Photos can help us understand the concern.
