Salt Contamination & Moisture Assessment

White deposits, contaminated plaster and unexplained persistent moisture readings.

Discuss your concern

The problem

White crystalline deposits appear on a wall, or electrical moisture readings remain high even after an earlier damp issue was repaired.

What an investigation could involve

Record where salts and moisture symptoms occur, inspect accessible construction and relevant history, and assess whether authorised sampling or laboratory analysis would help distinguish possible causes.

What you could receive

A written assessment of site observations, the significance and limits of any agreed test results, and proportionate recommendations for further investigation or remedial work.

Scope and limitations: On-site nitrate/chloride screening, sampling and laboratory testing are optional specialist methods, not automatically included or represented as already available. Salt presence does not independently prove rising damp or an active leak. An appropriate scope, necessary competence, insurance, timing and survey conditions must be established before any paid investigation.
