Damp survey: Frequently asked questions
What is a damp survey?
A damp survey is a detailed inspection of a property to identify the presence, cause and severity of damp issues such as mould, rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation. Identifying damp early helps prevent costly structural damage, mould growth and health risks associated with poor indoor air quality. In the UK, damp surveys are often required for property sales, landlord compliance and mortgage approvals.
How long does a damp survey take?
Most dampness surveys take between 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the property. Smaller homes might even take less time. Our surveyors also inspect walls, floors and ceilings for visible signs of damp, leaks and poor ventilation. After the survey, we provide a detailed report with findings, recommendations and solutions tailored to your property, which you will receive within 10 days of the site inspection.
What tools are used to detect damp?
How do I know if I need a damp investigation?
- Black mould patches on walls
- Wet ceilings, staining or watermarks
- Peeling wallpaper or flaking paint
- Musty smells lingering in the property
- Unexplained respiratory issues
What happens after the damp survey?
How much does a damp survey cost in the UK?
The cost of a damp survey varies depending on the size of the property, the level of investigation required and location.
