Cada zona de Madrid tiene sus propias patologías. Estas son las que detectamos más en Alcalá de Henares:
Humedades for capilaridad en plantas bajas del casco antiguo — el nivel freático junto al Henares es elevado.
Fachadas de ladrillo cara vista con juntas deterioradas — en bloques de los 70–80.
Instalaciones eléctricas obsoletas en edificios anteriores a 1985.
El casco histórico de Alcalá de Henares, en torno a la calle Mayor y sus soportales, mezcla casas antiguas de dos o tres plantas con conventos y colegios universitarios. A partir de los años 60 la industria del corredor del Henares atrajo a mucha población y se levantaron barrios enteros de bloques de pisos, como Reyes Católicos o El Chorrillo. En las últimas décadas la ciudad ha crecido con desarrollos más recientes, como La Garena o Espartales, con edificios de pisos con garaje y zonas comunes.
Si te interesa el casco histórico, ten en cuenta que buena parte está protegido: las obras de fachada y cubierta pueden necesitar autorización, así que infórmate de lo que permite la normativa antes de comprar. En los bloques de los 60–70 comprueba si el edificio ha pasado la ITE, si tiene ascensor y si hay derramas aprobadas. La inspección añade la medición de humedades, la inspección de cubiertas y forjados y, en los desarrollos recientes, el estado de garajes, terrazas y acabados.
Casco Histórico — Casas antiguas de pocas plantas y edificios protegidos. Inspecciona la humedad en plantas bajas, las vigas de madera, la cubierta de teja y los límites para hacer obras.
Reyes Católicos — Bloques de pisos de la expansión de los 60 y 70. Comprueba la ITE, el ascensor, la instalación eléctrica y el estado de la fachada de ladrillo.
Espartales — Desarrollo reciente de edificios de pisos con garaje y zonas comunes. Inspecciona filtraciones en garajes y terrazas, los acabados y la calificación energética.
