Damp walls: finding the source

Peeling paint, bubbling plaster and damp at skirting level are common signs of water getting into a wall. A moisture meter and thermal imaging help show where it is coming from before anything is opened up.

Leak under a kitchen floor: before and after

Once the leak was pinpointed and marked on the floor, the floor was opened up at that spot to reach the pipe.

Leak under a concrete floor: checked before digging

A thermal camera showed a warm area at the marked spot. A small hole, just big enough for an endoscopic camera, was drilled to check the fittings before any digging. The concrete was then opened up at the exact spot.
