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.
