Spot Survey

Conducting a spot survey to assess damp, mould, and water damage in a home involves a thorough and systematic evaluation of the property. The process begins with a visual inspection of walls, ceilings, floors, and other vulnerable areas to identify any visible signs of dampness, such as discoloured patches, peeling paint, or warped surfaces. Moisture meters are often employed to measure the moisture levels within walls and floors, helping to detect hidden dampness that may not be immediately apparent. The presence of mould is carefully noted, as it often indicates prolonged exposure to moisture. Inspectors also examine potential sources of water ingress, such as leaking pipes, damaged roofing, or poor ventilation, which could contribute to ongoing moisture issues. The survey concludes with a detailed explanation outlining the findings, including the extent of any damage and recommended remediation measures to restore the property's condition and prevent future problems.
