Damp Survey in Aldershot (20)

A comprehensive damp survey is the most effective way to identify the source and extent of damp within a property. Using advanced tools such as moisture mapping, thermal imaging, drone surveys etc. where required, we provide a thorough assessment that goes beyond a basic inspection. This ensures that hidden or underlying issues are accurately detected and not overlooked.

We cover all forms of damp, including rising damp, penetrating damp, mould, and condensation. Each requires a different approach, and misdiagnosis can waste time and money. Our surveys pinpoint the exact cause, whether structural defects, poor ventilation, or ground moisture, giving you a clear understanding of the problem.

After the survey, you’ll receive a detailed written report with images, moisture readings, and thermal scans. It highlights the causes, potential risks, and tailored solutions to resolve issues effectively and cost-efficiently.

Our experienced surveyors provide expert, impartial advice and practical recommendations. By addressing damp at its source, we help protect your property’s condition, safety, and long-term value.
