Evidence before repair

Damp Inspections and Diagnostic Testing

Understand how the building is failing before committing to a remedial treatment or repair scope.

Moisture diagnostic equipment used to inspect damp-affected masonry
01

Diagnosis starts with construction

Moisture can travel through walls, floors and concealed junctions before appearing at the surface. BRW reviews the symptom pattern together with the way the building was constructed and altered.

02

Specialist moisture assessment

Non-destructive moisture meters and practical building knowledge help map moisture through the property and distinguish likely causes.

  • Visual assessment of damage patterns
  • Moisture readings across relevant materials
  • Review of subfloor airflow and masonry condition
  • Clear explanation of findings and recommended next steps
03

A defined remedial scope

The inspection supports a proportionate recommendation. Where BRW is suited to the work, the findings can be translated into a coordinated quotation for damp treatment and related reinstatement.

Common questions

Useful answers before an inspection.

Why test before repairing damp?

The visible patch may not identify the true moisture source. Testing reduces guesswork and unnecessary work.

Do moisture meters damage the wall?

The primary meter used for general mapping is non-destructive, although some investigations may require closer access to concealed areas.

Will I receive clear recommendations?

BRW explains the findings and practical next steps relevant to the inspected building.
