This type of property damp survey is normally carried out by a qualified damp and woodworm treatment company to identify issues such as rising damp, penetrating damp, timber decay, dry rot, wet rot, or woodworm infestation.

Therefore, arranging a professional damp survey for a mortgage lender can be an important step in the property buying process. Once the survey is completed, the specialist will provide a detailed damp and timber report, outlining any problems found and recommending appropriate treatment if required. This report helps the mortgage lender decide whether the property is suitable security for the loan and whether the purchase can proceed.

Dry Rot is a serious fungal infection that can be found in buildings throughout Eccles and the UK.

Damp-Proofing Specialists in Eccles.

Firstly, many enquiries we receive from clients throughout Eccles involve requests for a damp survey and quotation for damp proofing. Often, this is because they suspect rising damp and have been informed by a builder that damp proofing is required, usually in the form of a chemical damp-proof course injection.

However, this is usually not the case. In fact, dampness is most often found to be present due to a lack of maintenance, bridging of the physical damp proof course, or another external source of moisture.

For instance, if you notice tide marks on your walls, peeling paint, wet patches, or damaged skirting boards, you may suspect a rising damp problem. This type of issue most commonly affects older properties.

Furthermore, rising damp occurs when porous building materials such as mortar, bricks, and stone absorb moisture from the ground. As a result, the potential risks can include timber decay, wet rot, and even certain health-related concerns.

Drainage problems

Firstly, whether the issue is caused by an ineffective damp-proof course in your walls, poor ventilation, or a drainage problem, it is crucial to resolve the problem promptly. This is important for the sake of your comfort, your finances, and the overall condition of your home. Therefore, if you require a rising damp survey, you can simply contact our rising damp specialists in Eccles.

At this stage, our independent specialist damp and timber surveyors step in to provide an accurate and honest diagnosis. Initially, locating the position and level of the damp-proof course is the first step in the inspection process.

Next, the surveyor will identify any potential bridging issues affecting the damp-proof course level. Alternatively, they will investigate other sources of moisture ingress which may appear to be rising damp. However, to an inexperienced surveyor this can often be misdiagnosed, when in reality the cause may be entirely different.

.Costly chemical damp proof courses/damp proofing.

In most cases, simple general building works which can be carried out by general contractors can be carried out to resolve damp problems without the use of costly chemical damp proof courses/damp proofing.

An Adept UK damp survey in Eccles is carried out by a fully qualified CSRT surveyor to provide you with the correct diagnosis of any damp problems you may have.
