Paddington Heritage Residence Dampness

01

The Challenge

A Federation-era residence was experiencing persistent dampness in basement areas. The owners were concerned about protecting original heritage features while addressing moisture issues.

Our Investigation

Non-invasive investigation using thermal imaging and pinless moisture meters ensured no damage to heritage fabric. We also assessed the original damp proof course condition.

03

Key Findings

The investigation revealed rising damp due to a bridged damp proof course from garden bed modifications, combined with surface water ingress from failed external drainage.

04

The Outcome

Our recommendations allowed targeted repairs that preserved the heritage character while effectively addressing moisture issues. The homeowners avoided unnecessary invasive treatments.
