What Happens During A Damp Survey?

During our consultation phase, we will gain a good history of what you have been experiencing with your damp problem. This will allow us to start the survey with a good idea of the main issues you have been facing and the location of mould or signs of damp.

We will then carry out a full survey, that typically lasts two to three hours. In this time your Damp Surveyor will check the moisture levels in floors, ceilings, walls, lofts and cellars. Your Damp Surveyor will also test areas of your property for leaks including drains and do a thorough examination of windows, doors and roofs.

After the survey is complete, your Damp Surveyor will discuss with you verbally the results of the survey and what is causing the problem. If a full written report is required, this can be supplied after 7 days at an extra cost.

Why Choose a Damp Detective Mould & Damp Survey?

Curing mould and damp is easy when you know the source of the problem. Many free surveys are based on the sale of a product but you can’t be sure this product will cure your problem. From our experience, free surveys never locate the source of the problem. We have over 20 years of experience in dealing with mould and damp and a fantastic success rate. We will make repeat visits if necessary to ensure that the correct cause is found and the solution we suggest will fix the problem.
