<p>Lower Ground Floor, Rear: External Inspection Ground levels to the rear are at the same level as the internal floor level. Due to dry, sunny weather at the time of our inspection, we were unable to see the passage of rainwater through the plumbing and rainwater goods.</p>

<p>However, staining to same was seen at various points and would suggest some level of defect. Internal Inspection Restrictions: Some walls at this level are concealed by built in kitchen units &amp; and fitted floor coverings throughout. Our report is therefore based on those wall surfaces that were accessible at the time of our inspection.</p>

<p>Dampness: Moisture readings taken with the aid of an electronic moisture meter at the base of the accessible main walls revealed evidence of dampness consistent with that of rising dampness to be present to those areas marked on the enclosed plan. The walls affected by rising dampness are also suffering from ground water salt contamination.</p>
