Frequently asked questions
My wall is damp: leak or condensation?
On the plateau, humid air and cooler temperatures encourage condensation. We measure moisture inside the wall and test nearby pipes: that is what settles the question.
The ceiling stain only appears when it rains: what should I do?
That points to water ingress rather than a pipe leak. We look for the entry point on the slab or terrace, using flood testing or coloured tracer.
Do you work in office buildings in Ebène?
Yes, with the building manager’s agreement, using discreet methods that do not disturb occupants.
