Finding past leaks before you buy
Stains, mould and damp readings in bathrooms and laundries.
In short: A bathroom that looks fine can hide years of slow leaking. A moisture meter and a careful look usually show it.
Where leaks show
Stained ceilings, swollen skirtings, mould and damp floors around showers and baths.
Using a moisture meter
Readings around wet areas show where moisture is sitting behind the surface.
Evidence of past leaking
Subfloor staining and old repairs suggest a leak, even if it is dry on the day.
What the report says
It records where moisture was found and recommends a plumber or waterproofer where needed.
