Damp Repairs & Treatments In London

The geology of much of London is clay which can cause flooding in many areas. This combination means that many basement flats and cellars can require damp proofing or basement tanking to keep them habitable.

If your home shows signs of damp, you already know how unsightly the problem can be. As well as affecting the value of your home, damp frequently leads to mould which in turn can affect your respiratory and immune system.

But with prompt diagnosis and treatment, including damp proof course (DPC) injections, the underlying causes can be addressed and structural damage repaired.

These are the tools we use

A damp meter

A damp meter

A damp meter is a diagnostic tool used to detect and measure moisture levels within building materials such as plaster, brick, timber, and concrete.

Borescope camera

Borescope camera

borescope camera is a small inspection camera attached to a flexible semi-rigid cable that allows you to see inside areas that are otherwise inaccessible.

Inspection Drone

Inspection Drone

A drone is a remotely operated aerial device equipped with a camera that allows visual inspection from above without the need for scaffolding or ladder.

Air Humidity Sensor

Air Humidity Sensor

Air humidity sensor measures the amount of moisture present in the air, expressed as relative humidity (RH) in percentage. It helps determine whether indoor conditions are contributing to condensation, mould growth, or damp-related issues.

Thermal Imaging Camera

Thermal Imaging Camera

A thermal imaging camera detects temperature differences on surfaces by using infrared technology to produce a heat map image. In damp investigations, it helps identify cold spots, moisture intrusion, insulation defects, thermal bridging and leaks.

Air Flow Ventilation Detector

Air Flow Ventilation Detector

An air flow ventilation detector measures the movement and volume of air passing through vents, extractor fans, and air bricks. It confirms whether ventilation systems are working properly and achieving adequate air changes within a room. Poor airflow leads to trapped moisture, high humidity, condensation on cold surfaces, and ultimately mould growth.

Mould Swab Test Kit

Mould Swab Test Kit

A mould swab test is carried out to confirm the presence of hidden mould growth and identify the specific species involved. Surface mould is not always visible, especially behind furniture, inside cavities, or within ventilation systems. Laboratory analysis of a swab sample determines whether active mould spores are present and what type they are, which helps assess potential health risks and decide the correct remediation approach rather than relying on visual assumption alone.

Plaster Salt Analysis Lab

Plaster Salt Analysis Lab

Laboratory analysis of plaster is used to identify the type of salts present within the material, typically chlorides and nitrates. The presence and concentration of these salts help determine whether the moisture source is consistent with rising damp, ground contamination, or another forms [sic] of water ingress. such as mains water leak, This removes guesswork and prevents misdiagnosis, ensuring the correct remedial treatment is specified rather than applying unnecessary or ineffective solutions.
