Full Survey

A full survey assessing damp, mould, and water damage in a home is a thorough and detailed evaluation that encompasses both the interior and exterior of the property. Inside the home, every room is meticulously inspected for signs of moisture issues, such as damp patches, mould growth, or water stains on walls, ceilings, and flooring. The survey includes the use of moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden dampness and temperature anomalies that could indicate underlying water damage. Flooring is examined for warping, discoloration, or a musty odour, while ceilings are checked for sagging, leaks, or mould spots, which may point to water ingress from above.

The exterior examination is equally rigorous, focusing on areas that could contribute to moisture problems inside the home. The condition of the house's rendering is inspected for cracks or gaps that might allow water to penetrate the structure. Gutters and downspouts are evaluated to ensure they are functioning properly, as clogged or damaged gutters can lead to water pooling around the foundation or leaking into the walls.

The survey may also include checking for proper drainage around the property, which is crucial to preventing water buildup that could lead to damp issues. The full survey concludes with a comprehensive report detailing all findings, including the severity and locations of damp, mould, and water damage, as well as recommendations for necessary repairs and preventative measures to protect the property.
