About
Damp you find before you sign is the seller's problem. After the first monsoon, it's yours.
Megahedge exists to move the moment of discovery to before the money is paid, or before the builder's defect window closes.
Why this exists
Most flats are sold in the dry months, freshly painted.
A buyer visits twice, in daylight, between monsoons. The seller has repainted, as sellers do. The patch under the upstairs bathroom has had months to dry at the surface. It comes back in July, after registration.
New flats have the same problem in a different form. The builder's obligation to fix defects runs from possession, but a seeping bathroom floor often shows only after the wardrobes are built and the first rains arrive.
Damp is measurable before it is visible. A moisture meter and a thermal camera, used against a dry reference wall in the same flat, show where the water is. That is the whole idea.
Principles
Six rules every inspection follows.
- Measure, then say
- Every finding has a reading against a dry wall in the same flat. No reading, no finding.
- Show the evidence
- Photo and thermal image side by side, so you, the seller and the builder can see what we saw.
- Never in the repair business
- No repair work, no contractor commission. Paid only by the person who books.
- Opinion, labelled as opinion
- The likely source comes with the reasoning. We don't certify, guarantee or tell you whether to buy.
- State the limits
- Tiles, wardrobes and dry seasons limit what instruments see. The report says where.
- Plain words, your language
- Reports in English and Hindi, with the city's language added as each city opens.
No stake in the repair, so no reason to find more damp than there is.
