They use advanced equipment and experienced technicians to identify hidden problems, such as rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation. Timely intervention can help avoid costly repairs.
2. What is a damp survey? A damp survey is an inspection conducted by professionals to assess and diagnose moisture-related issues in buildings. The components of a survey can vary depending on the severity of the problem, but it typically includes a thorough inspection and analysis.
3. What does the interior and exterior inspection involve? Surveyors begin with a visual inspection, checking for signs of damage like stains, peeling paint, or wallpaper indoors. They also examine the exterior of the building, as many damp problems originate from issues like damaged roof tiles or porous walls.
4. How do surveyors measure humidity and moisture? Surveyors use moisture detection devices to measure humidity levels in each affected room. These devices assess moisture content in materials like wood, concrete, drywall, and floors to determine the extent of the damage.
5. What is the role of heat and thermal imaging in a damp survey? Thermal imaging creates a comprehensive profile of affected areas by revealing moisture patterns through different temperatures. This technology helps track the spread of moisture from leaks even when it’s not directly visible.
6. How is the cause of damp identified during the survey? Surveyors identify the location, extent, and direction of moisture to determine the type of damp affecting the property. Common causes include penetrating damp, condensation, rising damp, or leaks.

Our professional surveyors ensure trust in our service by performing a comprehensive survey and assessment to prevent these issues.

We conduct a complete assessment of the materials used to identify potential causes and develop a long-term remediation plan.

This inspection is crucial, especially for wood or timber structures where rot can lead to significant problems.
