Damp Surveys
Our comprehensive damp surveys provide a detailed assessment of your property's condition, identifying all types of damp issues and their root causes. Conducted by RICS certified surveyors, our surveys deliver accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment recommendations to protect your property investment.
Our Damp Survey Process
1. Visual Inspection
Our surveyors conduct a thorough visual examination of your property, inspecting walls, floors, ceilings, and external features to identify visible signs of damp, such as staining, mold growth, peeling wallpaper, and damaged plaster.
2. Moisture Measurement
Using professional moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, we accurately measure moisture levels in walls, floors, and other building elements to identify areas affected by damp, even when not visibly apparent.
3. Damp Type Identification
We distinguish between different types of damp (rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation) by analyzing moisture patterns, salt analysis, and environmental factors, ensuring the correct treatment approach is recommended.
4. Comprehensive Reporting
Following the survey, we provide a detailed written report outlining our findings, including the type and extent of damp, underlying causes, and specific recommendations for remedial work with cost estimates where applicable.
