Damp Surveys in Richmond
Richmond combines elegant Georgian riverside houses with Victorian terraces and characterful cottages near the Green and the Park. Its position on the Thames brings a distinctive set of moisture considerations, including flood risk and elevated ground moisture in low-lying riverside streets.
We provide independent damp surveys throughout Richmond, Kew, and Richmond Hill — diagnosis that accounts for both the age of the property and its proximity to the river.

Common Damp Issues in Richmond
Riverside and flood-related moisture
Low-lying streets near the Thames can experience elevated ground moisture and, in flood-risk locations, water ingress that needs careful assessment and drying.
Rising damp in period walls
Georgian and Victorian walls without effective DPCs show genuine rising damp, particularly in riverside and low-ground properties.
Penetrating damp on exposed elevations
Riverside and hillside elevations exposed to wind-driven rain are prone to penetrating damp through worn masonry.
