Damp Survey Stages

1. Identifying External Issues

The initial stage of a damp survey involves examining the building’s external envelope to identify visible defects that might lead to damp penetration. Many damp-related issues stem from damage to the property’s exterior, such as broken roof tiles, inadequate window pointing, or porous masonry. Regular inspections of your property's exterior by a qualified builder are essential.

Promptly addressing any necessary maintenance and repairs can help prevent further water ingress, which could otherwise result in severe damage to the building's structure and timber rot.

2. Investigating the Damp Issue

Our skilled damp surveyor will begin by assessing the reported problem area. If the issue is likely to spread, the surrounding areas will also be thoroughly examined. For instance, penetrating damp could affect multiple rooms. Misdiagnosing the type of damp can lead to improper treatment, which is why at Flawless Preservation, we ensure we are trained in all types of damp to carry out the survey.

This expertise guarantees that our surveyor will accurately diagnose the problem and provide suitable recommendations for any damp issue encountered.

3. Creating a Damp Survey Report

After the damp survey is conducted, our surveyor will prepare a detailed survey report, which will be sent to you either via email or post. Should you require a verbal update regarding the findings, our surveyor would be happy to provide this once the survey is complete.

The report will outline the identified issue, explain how it originated, and include recommended solutions. If remedial treatment work is necessary to resolve the problem, a separate repair quotation will be included in the report.

Remedial Damp Treatment

Damp Proofing

For those unsure of what to expect after the survey, we’ve outlined the key stages of the treatment process below:

Based on the type of damp present in your property, we will either inject a chemical damp proof course into the walls to address rising damp or apply our cavity wall membrane system to tackle penetrating damp. If the membrane system is not required, we will re-plaster the wall with a special renovating plaster that prevents hygroscopic salts from migrating, which can otherwise damage your decoration.

These salts attract moisture from the air and can keep the wall damp, even after the new damp proof course is installed. For below-ground walls, such as in basements or cellars with significant damp issues, we will install a basement waterproofing system. This includes waterproofing membranes to manage penetrating damp and direct excess water to a sump and pump, which then expels the water, keeping the living area dry.

Contract Supervision

We have a team of dedicated Contract Supervisors who work closely with you to coordinate the project and ensure that it meets the highest standards. They will keep you informed about progress and address any questions you may have throughout the process.

Our technicians maintain a high level of cleanliness and professionalism while performing the treatment in your property. Although some tasks can be dusty, we make every effort to minimize the mess.

We take pride in offering excellent customer service (as seen in our customer reviews) and understand that effective communication is a key component of that.
