Case Studies

Real-world, anonymised examples showing how independent damp diagnostics protect homeowners and buyers across Chester, Flintshire and the wider region.

Chester 1930s Cavity House Ventilation Review

high humidity/condensation risk improved after ventilation/heating changes; wet rooms affected by defective seals + inadequate extraction; roof-space ventilation/insulation deficiencies; high external ground levels bridging DPC; needs staged approach.

Location: Chester

Property type: 1930s cavity house

Hoole Condensation & Mould Investigation

condensation-driven mould with inadequate ventilation; defective rainwater goods contributing to localised staining; historic tanking/lining may alter moisture behaviour; no evidence of rising damp as sole mechanism; recommend dMEV + background ventilation.

Location: Hoole area

Property type: Terraced home

Frodsham DPC Bridging & Ventilation Plan

elevated moisture at wall/floor junctions consistent with DPC bridging (internal finishes below DPC and raised external levels/plinths); major ventilation deficiencies (no whole-house strategy; underperforming fan; no trickle vents); recommend coordinated remedial plan.

Location: Frodsham area

Property type: Family home
