Condensation vs penetrating damp

How to tell the difference, why misdiagnosis happens, and what an independent survey looks for.

Condensation

Often linked to ventilation, temperature and moisture generation; look for mould and cold surface patterns.

Penetrating damp

More likely tied to external defects—gutters, pointing, flashings, roof details.

Independent diagnosis

A survey focuses on evidence and building physics, not selling treatments.
