The purpose of a damp survey is to inspect a property for damp issues, diagnose the problem and provide treatment advice.

Damp surveyors generally carry out the following tasks:

• An initial consultation to learn more about the property’s history and condition
• Exterior inspection
• Assess condition of gutters, water pipes and drains
• Interior inspection to discover any signs of damp - such as water stains and peeling paint
• Measure damp severity using a moisture meter
• Take photographs and make notes
• Assess the data collected and write a survey report
• Provide suggested damp treatments and price estimates for the work needed

It is important to be aware that a damp survey is not the same as a homebuyer survey.

We recommend contacting damp surveyors working in your area to learn more about their services.
