Damp and mould in homes are more than just an eyesore – they pose serious risks to health and property. With increasing reports of damp-related issues across both social and private housing, it has never been more crucial to ensure your home is safe and free from moisture problems. A professional damp survey can identify hidden threats and provide actionable solutions to protect your home and well-being.
Recent news and reports highlight a concerning rise in cases of damp and mould affecting UK properties. From structural damage to severe health risks such as respiratory issues and allergies, ignoring damp issues can lead to costly repairs and long-term health complications. Whether you are a homeowner, tenant, landlord, or property manager, taking proactive steps with a damp survey is essential.
A damp survey is a thorough inspection conducted by experts to assess the extent and cause of moisture problems in a property. Using advanced equipment and industry expertise, a damp survey specialist can detect various types of damp, including:
Caused by moisture from the ground moving up through walls and floors.
Resulting from water ingress through walls, roofs, or windows.
A common cause of mould growth, often due to poor ventilation.
By identifying these issues early, you can take the necessary steps to prevent further damage and costly repairs.
Inspect the building envelope to detect weaknesses that contribute to energy loss, ensuring optimal air sealing and insulation.
Mould spores can lead to asthma, allergies, and other respiratory problems, particularly for children and the elderly.
Unaddressed damp can weaken walls, floors, and ceilings, leading to expensive repairs.
A damp-free home is more attractive to buyers and tenants, ensuring a higher market value.
Correct diagnosis will allow for the correct prognosis.
Recent regulations place more responsibility on landlords to ensure damp-free living conditions. A survey can support necessary actions and legal compliance.
