Signs You May Need a Damp Survey
Tide marks or staining on lower walls – a classic sign of rising damp
Peeling paint or wallpaper – moisture pushing through the wall surface
White salt deposits (efflorescence) – salts drawn out by moisture movement
Musty smell – often linked to mould growth behind walls or under floors
Black mould patches – usually condensation-related but can indicate penetrating damp
Damp patches on external walls – pointing to defective masonry, pointing, or guttering
Flagged by a homebuyer survey – requiring specialist investigation before purchase
Types of Damp We Survey and Treat in North London
Rising Damp – Caused by groundwater travelling upward through porous masonry where a damp-proof course is absent, failed, or bridged. Common in pre-1920s North London properties.
Penetrating Damp – Water entering through defects in the building fabric: cracked render, failed pointing, blocked gutters, or faulty flat roofs.
Condensation & Mould – The most common and frequently misdiagnosed form. Solutions include improved ventilation, thermal insulation, and mould treatment.
Basement & Below-Ground Damp – Cellars and lower ground floors are particularly susceptible to hydrostatic water pressure. We design structural waterproofing (tanking) solutions.

Professional approach, helpful, competitive and above all trusted.
What does a damp survey involve?A damp survey involves a thorough visual inspection combined with moisture meter readings across walls, floors, and ceilings. Our surveyor identifies the type of damp present (rising, penetrating, or condensation), locates the source, and provides a written report with recommended remedial works.
How long does a damp survey take in North London?A standard residential damp survey typically takes 1–2 hours on site. A written report is usually provided within 2–3 working days.
What is the difference between rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation?Rising damp travels upward through walls from ground level and shows as a tide mark with salt deposits. Penetrating damp enters through defects such as failed pointing or cracked render. Condensation — caused by warm moist air on cold surfaces — is the most common form and frequently misdiagnosed as rising damp.
Do I need a damp survey before buying a property in North London?Yes — if a homebuyer survey flags potential damp, a specialist survey is strongly recommended before exchange. It gives you an accurate picture of the problem, the true remediation cost, and leverage for price negotiation.
Can you carry out the remediation work after the survey?Yes. Fixiz provides a full end-to-end service — from survey and diagnosis through to all remedial works including re-plastering, tanking, waterproofing, improved ventilation, and repointing.
