Assessment and agreed work
A tide mark or isolated moisture reading does not establish a cause. Confirm the findings and proposed treatment before work. Structural rebuilding, subsoil drainage and basement work require separate specialist assessment.
What to check at handover
Keep the treatment specification, preparation details and drying or redecorating instructions. Record any remaining moisture source or separately required drainage work.
Questions before you book
Is all low-level damp rising damp?
No. The pattern needs investigation; plumbing, bridging and other moisture sources can produce similar damage.
Why do some prices use metres and others square metres?
Treatment along a wall and work across its surface are different scopes. Compare the measured quantities and inclusions in the quote.
