Independent Surveys & Salt Analysis
A DAMP SURVEY is non-intrusive. Your property will be investigated for penetrating damp, rising damp and areas of condensation. This will involve the use of an electronic moisture meter to take readings of all accessible wall sections of your home at both high and low level. Also whether the property has adequate ventilation. The ground levels will also be checked to evaluate whether or not the damp proof course (DPC) or the damp proof membrane (DPM) has been breached internally or externally.
Thermal imaging is another tool that we can use if required when diagnosing the cause of dampness.
A TIMBERS SURVEY will involve inspection of the various timbers throughout the property including subfloor and roof timbers (where accessible) for signs of infestation, decay, dry rot, wet rot and again whether or not your home has adequate ventilation.
Combine both the damp and timber surveys for a FULL SURVEY.
SALTS ANALYSIS / ‘SPEEDY TESTING’/ ERH provide the next level of investigation, where Drill samples are taken and analysed. This services can be vital particularly where disputes occur and independent specialist advice is required.
As full members of the property care association you will always receive a detailed and comprehensive written report that meets the standard required by any mortgage lender or legal body.
