This service provides a detailed evaluation of damp conditions in properties prior to purchase, identifying types and causes of damp and delivering a comprehensive report with professional advice on treatment and prevention.
Initial access to the property is confirmed to allow thorough inspection of all relevant areas. Information regarding the property's history and any visible signs of damp is gathered to inform the assessment.
A visual examination is conducted to identify signs of rising, penetrating, and condensation damp. The condition of interior and exterior surfaces is reviewed to detect damp-related defects.
Necessary tools and equipment are prepared to measure moisture levels and assess the severity of damp issues. Areas of concern are prioritised for detailed inspection.
Comprehensive damp inspections are carried out, including moisture readings and evaluation of potential causes. Observations are documented systematically to support accurate reporting.
A clear, detailed report is compiled outlining findings, severity, and likely causes of damp. Professional advice on treatment options and prevention measures is provided to assist informed decision-making.
The report is delivered with an explanation of limitations, including that hidden damp issues may not be detected and that the service does not guarantee future damp-free conditions.
