Why hire a legal expert to deal with damp problems?

The dampness and leaks are one of the most common problems in residential buildings. However, many people are unaware that behind these stains on the walls may be hidden design errors, poor workmanship or even lack of mandatory maintenance by the developer.

Today I tell you the real testimony of the case of D. Pablo R.the owner of a single-family house in Murcia, affected by repeated rising damp, condensation and leaking roofs after a poorly carried out comprehensive refurbishment.

"I thought it was the weather or that we were cleaning too much, but over time cracks started to appear, the floor was warping and we even smelled mould. I contacted [Name of Expert] because we needed real, professional answers. Thanks to his expert report we were able to win the trial and recover our investment".

🔍 Technical Diagnostics: Key findings of the expert witness

After visiting the house and carrying out a thorough analysis, the following problems were identified:

Lack of rising damp barrier in foundations.
Flat roof leaks due to the use of unsuitable materials and incorrect slopes.
Constant condensation in bedrooms due to poor ventilation and ineffective thermal insulation.
Defects in the installation of storm drainscausing water accumulation in critical areas.
Low quality materials used during the refurbishment, with no guarantees or technical certifications.

Damp symptoms are often downplayed as normal or seasonal. But when they appear repeatedly, affect the health of the occupants and the value of the property, technical and legal judgement is required.
