A damp survey involves a detailed inspection of your property to identify and assess the extent of any damp issues. It helps pinpoint the source of the moisture, whether it's rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation. A damp survey is essential to understand the problem thoroughly and to determine the most effective solutions. Regular surveys can prevent small issues from becoming major problems, saving you time and money in the long run.
The duration of a damp survey depends on the size and complexity of your property. On average, a survey takes between 1.5 to 3 hours. During this time, we conduct a thorough inspection, including checking walls, floors, and ceilings, and using specialized equipment to measure moisture levels. After the survey, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations.
After the survey, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing the findings, including any issues identified and recommended actions. The report will include advice on how to address the damp problems and any necessary repairs or treatments. We are also available to discuss the report with you and answer any questions you may have.
Yes, our damp surveys are completely independent. We pride ourselves on offering unbiased assessments without any hidden agendas. Unlike some companies that may create problems to secure repair work, our goal is to provide you with accurate information and honest recommendations to resolve your damp issues effectively.
We recommend having a damp survey conducted at least once every few years, especially if you notice any signs of dampness or if your property is in an area prone to moisture issues. Regular surveys help catch potential problems early, allowing for timely intervention and preventing more significant damage in the future.
We encourage clients to actively participate in discussions, share their ideas, preferences, and feedback.
