What we investigate
The investigation considers the pattern across the wall as well as rooms above, adjacent fittings and likely pipe routes. We ask whether the stain changes after water use, heating or wet weather. Appropriate readings and checks help establish whether plumbing is contributing before a repair opening is planned. The aim is to address the source before the wall is finished again.
Signs to tell us about
- A stain that grows or returns
- Soft or discoloured plaster
- Paint repeatedly blistering
- Damp close to a concealed supply route
