What the investigation needs to establish
Readings across the wall are compared with the plumbing on both sides and any services above. The timing of moisture changes matters as much as the shape of the patch. Appropriate checks help establish whether opening the wall is justified.
Bring the useful details
Note links with showers, heating or rainfall. Old photographs can reveal how the patch has changed.
Keep the boundaries clear
Painting, plastering and treatment of building damp are excluded. A non-plumbing cause may need another specialist.
A method with a purpose
Moisture mapping may form part of the investigation when the conditions suit it. We explain what the result supports and what remains uncertain.
