Many deep basement conversions. Mansion blocks in Hampstead and Belsize Park. Some of London's oldest residential properties. The Fleet River runs underground through the borough, contributing to high groundwater. Steep terrain in Hampstead causes run-off issues. Deep Georgian and Victorian basements are highly susceptible to hydrostatic pressure.

Frequently Asked QuestionsRising and Penetrating Damp FAQs -------------------------------- ### Do you treat both rising damp and penetrating damp? Yes. They have different causes, so we diagnose first and then apply the right treatment for the specific issue. ### Can penetrating damp come from outside defects? Yes. Defective pointing, cracks, failed seals, gutters, and other envelope issues can all contribute to penetrating damp. ### Will repainting solve damp patches? Not if the moisture source remains. Cosmetic work alone usually fails when the root cause has not been fixed.
