Leak Detection, Trace & Access & Mould Treatment in Ewell
Our engineers find hidden leaks in Ewell homes without tearing them apart, investigate damp and mould properly, and write the report your insurer asks for — across KT17 and KT19.
Why Ewell homes get damp, mould and hidden leaks
Ewell splits into two very different kinds of housing, and each fails in its own way. Around Ewell Village and the conservation area you have older period and cottage-style properties with solid walls, where the classic problems are penetrating damp through old brickwork, failed pointing and rising damp where original defences have broken down. Across West Ewell and the wider KT19 streets, the stock is largely 1930s interwar semis — bay-fronted houses where we most often trace leaks behind bay windows, slipped roof and valley leaks, and condensation mould in cold bathrooms and rear extensions. Guessing wastes money, so we diagnose the real cause before anyone opens up a wall.
The Hogsmill, springs and ground-level damp in Ewell
Ewell is where the Hogsmill River rises, fed by springs near Bourne Hall, so parts of the area sit on ground with a naturally high water table. In lower-lying and older properties that can show up as persistent damp to lower walls and floors, damp cellars and moisture that keeps returning after cosmetic repairs. We use moisture mapping to tell the difference between a genuine ground-water or rising-damp issue and a plumbing leak or condensation — because the fix, and who should pay for it, is completely different.
What we do in Ewell
Leak detection
Thermal imaging, acoustic and moisture tracing to pinpoint a hidden leak before any wall comes down.

Genuine 24/7 call-outs when water is coming through a ceiling or a pipe has burst.
Trace & access (insurance)
We find and expose the leak and document it for your escape-of-water claim.

Damp & mould surveys
A proper diagnosis — condensation, penetrating or rising damp — so you fix the right thing once.
Insurance leaks & trace and access

EwellFAQ
Can you find a leak without smashing the house up? Yes — that is the point of professional leak detection. We use thermal imaging, acoustic listening and moisture mapping to pinpoint it, then open up only the spot that matters. That matters even more in Ewell’s period and conservation-area homes, where we work to protect original features.
My house is in the Ewell Village conservation area — can you still help? Yes. We handle older and period properties carefully, tracing the source with non-invasive tools first so we disturb as little of the original fabric as possible.
Is my damp rising damp or a leak? It is often neither — a lot of what looks like rising damp is condensation or a slow leak. Ewell’s springs and high water table do cause genuine ground damp in some spots, so we test and map the moisture properly rather than assuming.
Will my insurance pay for the work? Trace and access may be covered under buildings insurance, depending on the policy. We provide insurance-ready reports and evidence to support the claim.
How fast can you get to Ewell? Ewell is close to our New Malden base, so we can usually attend KT17 and KT19 the same day, and we run genuine 24/7 emergency call-outs.
