What matters about Chennai's buildings.
Inspectors look hardest at
- External walls facing the sea and the northeast
- Ground-floor skirting in low-lying neighbourhoods
- Terraces and parapet joints in top-floor flats
- Bathroom walls and the ceiling below the bathroom above
- 01
Coastal salt air leaves deposits on external walls and can raise meter readings on dry plaster. Readings are checked against a dry reference wall before an area is called damp.
- 02
Because the main rain comes late in the year, a flat bought or handed over in summer may not show its damp until November or December.
- 03
Low-lying areas near marshland and the southern suburbs can see standing water after heavy spells, which shows up as rising damp at ground-floor skirting.
- 04
Terrace and parapet joints take the force of cyclonic rain in the northeast monsoon season.

Questions from Chennai buyers
Is a summer inspection in Chennai worth it?
Yes, but expect the instruments to do more of the work. Fresh paint can hide last season's damp. A moisture meter and thermal camera compare every wall with a dry wall in the same flat.
Can you inspect for an NRI buyer who is abroad?
Yes. Share access details for the seller, agent or site office. The report reaches you on WhatsApp and email within 24 hours, with a 20-minute call with the inspector to walk through it.
Which RERA authority covers Chennai?
TNRERA. Our Tamil Nadu RERA page explains how to raise a defect under Section 14(3) of the RERA Act, 2016.
