Buying a new home is one of the biggest purchases you will ever make. So, why wouldn’t you want to ensure you’re making the right one? Unfortunately, when we are viewing a property, it is challenging to tell whether or not there are issues with damp. Many companies offer quick-fix solutions or cover up a damp problem rather than fix it. If this sort of work has been carried out on a property, it is likely that you will not be able to tell until it is too late.

When dampness has been masked, it may seem better for a few months, but during this time, the problem beneath the surface will get much worse. Removing mould from walls or painting over damp spots still allows rising damp to creep up through the bricks and mortar and penetrating damp to make its way into a cavity wall. Eventually, the damp problem will resurface and become much worse than before, resulting in unnecessarily excessive costs.

Our damp proofing experts will carry out a comprehensive damp survey using specialist equipment to ensure every inch of your potential property is checked properly. If there are issues, you will be able to make an informed decision about what to do. Whether you want them addressed before the purchase, or you want the costs knocked off the price, it will be in your hands.

Our expert home buyers’ damp survey is an extensive process where we assess the entire interior and exterior of a home to identify and address any concerns regarding moisture penetration. Our qualified surveyor will first conduct a careful inspection of damage or risks to the outside of the property. This will include roof tiles, downpipes, drainage systems, doors, windows, and any cracks in the brickwork. They will then check every wall, ceiling, and floor within the home for visible telltale signs of damp using state-of-the-art damp surveying equipment.

This comprehensive approach ensures you are fully aware of any dampness within the property and all potential risk factors. You will also receive a detailed report containing all relevant information, such as moisture and humidity levels and any work that needs doing. Of course, we can help with wall tanking, ventilation, and eradicating moisture and mould, but if there is any work you need that we don't do, we will provide guidance so you know where to get it done for the best possible price. With our damp proofing survey, you will know precisely what you are buying.
