Specialist Damp & Timber Survey & Report.

For many years, homebuyers have been faced with building surveyor reports that invariable contain the requirements to obtain a ‘Specialist timber and damp report’. Which might typically be written as follows.:

“High damp readings were detected to the ground floor walls. Adjacent timbers are therefore at risk of timber decay/rot. You should commission a PCA or similar registered contractor to investigate further including any subfloor area and provide advice as to appropriate repairs/treatment. These works may be disruptive and expensive. You should undertake these investigations prior to a legal commitment to purchase.”

What is a Damp and Timber Survey?

A pre-purchase damp and timber survey with a written report carried out on a property in Liverpool can cover any of the following;

• Damp and woodworm survey & report carried out for clients buying a property and need to get a house or flat inspected by damp specialists and checked for signs of woodworm, wet / dry rot & walls tested for suspected rising damp and penetrating damp to ground floor walls.
• A damp survey Liverpool including a specialist damp report is available to all residents for rising dampness, wood rot, timber decay & wood boring beetles.

• Damp report & timber inspection carried out on loft roofing timbers & wooden flooring for dry rot, wet rot and check for any signs of active wood boring beetles (woodworm)
• Damp and timber survey on a property in Liverpool, for mortgage lenders who has requested a report off the back of a property valuation that has just been done.

• Woodworm treatment specialists in Liverpool can also inspect roofing / loft timbers for any signs of dry rot, wet rot timber decay and active woodworm.

Of course, all the above are subject to your instructions. The most important aspect for any damp and timber survey is whether access within the property is available, surveys will always be limited by things such as furniture, floor coverings, fitted kitchen units, etc. However, we can use an array of surveying equipment including; endoscopes, ladders, dual mode moisture meters, mirrors and even binoculars.

It is important to have a property checked for rising dampness & inspected by woodworm treatment companies for beetle infestation in roof and floor timbers, prior to exchanging contracts, so the cost of any specialist damp-proofing and timber treatment for wood boring beetles can be negotiated with the vendor.

Our specialist damp and timber surveyors are accredited Certificated Surveyors in Remedial Treatments (C.S.R.T ) by the Property Care Association (P.C.A)

Money saving case histories

Damp and timber surveys carried out by Adept UK to satisfy mortgage requirements
 
Mortgage surveyors & building society surveyors in Liverpool always seem to err on the side of caution when there is the slightest hint of dampness or timber decay in properties they survey. This applies even more in a lot of properties in the UK where a lot of houses are stone built and do not lend themselves to the more popular damp-proofing systems.
 
Most mortgage & building surveyors in Liverpool simply use a moisture meter to detect dampness but these meters are not accurate on plaster or brickwork and they often give mis-leading readings and then surveyors immediately recommend a ‘PCA specialist damp and timber report.

Forewarned that damp has been picked up on a mortgage survey these ‘free damp surveys’ (which are really just damp & timber quotes) will regularly mis-diagnose rising damp and recommend chemical damp-proofing which is unnecessary, expensive and disruptive. If there is any damp it can usually be controlled in more cost effective, eco-friendly ways.

Most houses in Liverpool that were built around 1875 to 1900 etc. have had a physical damp-proof course fitted and despite what a lot of damp-proofing surveyors say these are unlikely to break down and allow rising dampness to occur. Despite knowing this a survey detected ‘rising damp’ on the front wall of the house as part of a mortgage survey and recommended further investigation.

We found that the existing damp-course in this house was intact and still functioning and that the cause of the ‘rising damp’ was due to leaking guttering which had allowed rainwater to splashback off the driveway and into the base of the wall.

Moisture then travels through the wall by capillary action to appear as induced ‘rising damp’ internally. No damp-proofing works were required and all that was needed was the replacement of the defective gutter, saving our client the expense of having unnecessary and expensive damp-proofing works carried out.

PCA  specialist damp and timber reports are usually requested by banks and building societies as a condition of a mortgage offer being accepted so that they can be sure that the structure of property in Liverpool is free from rising dampness, wood boring insects, and wood rotting fungi.

You may not buying a property, and therefore do not need to arrange a pre purchase mortgage damp and timber report, then we can still help with our trouble shooter survey.  Independent damp-proof course specialists in Liverpool  can carry out brief damp and timber surveys to give you peace of mind. 

Damp Timber Report? Damp survey? Terms which are used by mortgage providers most days, in and around Liverpool, when people are either buying / selling houses and there doesn’t have to be a damp problem for a damp survey to be asked for by a mortgage lender.

The problem is that most of us don’t buy and sell houses every day, so when a PCA damp survey or a PCA damp report on a house in Liverpool is requested by mortgage companies, people don’t know where to turn and that leaves them open to mis-diagnosis, confusion and sometimes; very poor service.

So, what is a damp survey and when is a damp survey needed and what does a damp report contain.

Damp is a common issue and affects a large number of homes. At the benign end it can be ‘something and nothing’, perhaps a few spots of mould and damp staining on ceilings due to a slipped roofing slate / tile.

However, at the other end of the scale, damp can cause real damage to a house; rotting structural roof and floor timbers, perishing wall plaster and sometimes making selling a house difficult, as potential buyers and mortgage lenders are put off.

A damp survey is usually asked for because a previous survey, by a valuer or building surveyor has picked something up, which he wants investigating further, often by independent damp specialists like us. I’ve been carrying out damp surveys on houses for the last 40 years.

So I’ve done quite a few! Sometimes a PCA damp report is merely asked for as a precaution; there may be no suspected problem, but the building surveyor wants to be sure and double check, to protect his client from a costly surprise. These surveyors often state in a homebuyers report that  a PCA damp and timber report will be required for mortgage loan approval.

A damp survey would usually go something like this:

After arranging access with the vendor, the damp surveyor will arrive and after a brief introduction get to work. This will first involve a walk around the outside of the property. The damp surveyor needs to establish the construction details, are the walls solid, cavity, rubble filled? Is there a damp proof course present?

What’s the lie of the land like, sloping? How high in relation to the internal floors and such? What is the design of the house like; features which may need regular maintenance and could allow damp to occur if ignored; valley gutters; copings at verges, rainwater pipes; surface water drains; other walls intersecting the house, like boundary wall, retaining walls and such? All of these will be taken in by the surveyor. Are there chimney stacks capped?

A surveyor will then, they will look for any building defects: What’s the pointing like? Render? Is it cracked, hollow, in contact with the ground or bridging the damp course (if there is one present)? What about the gutters and down-pipes? Is the DPC bridged? Are there vents or ventilation cowls for the kitchen and bathroom extractors? Is the stone / brick porous? Are there garden bushes which could block gutters and hide other damp problems?

If this sounds a lot, it’s not an exhaustive list, but gives a flavour of what any experienced and qualified damp surveyor will be considering within minutes of arriving.

Then the internal damp survey will start, though usually the damp surveyor will have a chat with the vendor (if the house is occupied). Any work done before? What’s the history of the house?

Whilst the surveyor will go all around the house, they will already have a good idea of where any damp problems are likely to be, following the clues they have picked up outside.

The damp meter will not be used yet. First, it’s a visual check-around the property, looking for damp staining, loose wallpaper, peeling paint, salting or other signs of any damp problems. Then they will use their moisture meter to test the walls:

• Testing and checking the walls where there are no apparent signs of damp (but where a surveyors observations lead too), just in case the damp problem is new and hasn’t damaged the internal decorations yet.
• Where a visual damp problem is seen, and where an elevated damp reading is found, they will want to use their moisture meter to check if the problem is an historic one, which has dried out. If it hasn’t and high damp readings are obtained, our surveyors will start to profile the area of wall, to find out what the relative distribution of the moisture is. A moisture profile will help his damp diagnosis and combined with the visual internal and external inspection; it should allow a reasonable diagnosis of the cause of the damp to be made.

Damp report & recommendations, as to what to do about the damp repairs (if any noted) are an essential part of the damp report. These could include simple maintenance work, like re-pointing, installing an extractor fan, or repairing gutters, down-pipes and any roofing repairs.

Sometimes the cause of the problem may be rising damp or a severe penetrating damp issue. In these cases, an independent damp specialist will prepare a damp report, which includes a specification for any required work.

Independent damp specialist surveyors don’t quote for work, but will offer a repair specification and advice on how to find a good specialist damp proofing companies to carry out the work for you.

The damp report will often be required by a mortgage lender and these days, many of them recommend that the damp survey is carried out by an independent damp specialist who is a C.S.R.T. qualified surveyor this is because the damp proofing industry is unregulated and unfortunately there are quite a few damp ‘specialists’ who have no industry qualifications, and sometimes no idea what they are doing.

Using a qualified C.S.R.T. independent surveyor is the best way of avoiding unqualified, cowboy traders, who offer damp surveys and damp reports which in many cases are defective, and contain wrong and misleading advice.

What qualifications are there for damp surveyors?

Qualifications for approved damp surveyors are defined as CSRT (Certificate in remedial treatment). The CSRT is the modern version of CRDS & CTIS and is roughly the same other than the fact that CSRT is a combined damp and timber infestation qualification (so the CSRT surveyor can advise on woodworm and wood rot problems too), and the CSRT also includes an environmental and health and safety module, which these days, is desirable and very sensible.

SURVEY FEED BACK

‘Thanks so much for carrying out the damp and timber survey on my new 1900 home and getting the damp report to me so quickly as it was the only thing delaying my mortgage.’ View Road, Rainhill, Prescot, L35 May 2017.

“Thanks for the damp report that your damp-proofing company sent through, which explained what the damp problem was in our house. Local builders have now fixed our damp problem and the walls are already starting to dry out. Kempton Park Road, Aintree, Liverpool, L10 December 2019.

“Many thanks to your damp proof course specialists for the damp and timber report that your damp-proofing company supplied after your survey. You have saved us thousands of pounds on our new house by not having to do the damp-proofing & woodworm treatment recommended by PCA registered damp-proofing & timber treatment companies in Liverpool. Croxteth Hall Lane, Croxteth, Liverpool November 2020.

“Thanks very much for the comprehensive woodworm & damp survey with report, it’s just what we need to get our re-mortgage’ on our house. Sefton Park, Liverpool, L8 October 2018.

Diagnosing damp & timber decay problems in Liverpool – what signs homeowners & buyers should look for.

The first step in fixing dampness is to find the main source. There are many different types of dampness – here are the signs you should be looking out for.

RISING DAMP

Rising damp is caused by a non-existent or faulty damp-proof course and describes the action of groundwater moving up through a wall through capillary action. Due to the nature of rising damp, only your ground floor will be affected by this type of damp. Signs of rising damp include:

• A noticeable tidemark on ground floor interior walls up to 1.5m
• Peeling or flaking skirting boards
• Blistering plaster or paint
• White powder on walls (salts)

PENERTRATING DAMPNESS

Penetrating damp, otherwise referred to as water ingress, means that water is making its way into your home from the outside. This can occur in a number of ways, either via a burst pipe, leaky roof, or damaged masonry. Common signs of penetrating damp include:

• Localised damp patches on walls and ceilings
• Damp that becomes more visible when it rains
• Moss or algae growth on external walls
• Damaged stone & brickwork
• Damaged guttering and blocked down pipes

CONDENSATION

Independent Mould & Damp Specialists in (Liverpool). Condensation damp mould is caused by poor ventilation and is the most common type of damp to affect UK homes. Condensation mostly occurs during the winter when the difference between external and internal temperatures is most dramatic. Signs of condensation problems include:

• Fogging on windows
• Damp Mould
• Black mould growth on windowsills, walls or even furniture
• Smell of mildew
• Blistering paint
• Peeling wallpaper

TIMBER ROT 

If timber comes into contact with damp masonry, beetle infestation & wood rot can occur – beetle infestation can occur with only the slightest amount of moisture. Where timbers form structural elements to your property such as roof timbers, floor joists and timber lintels etc. it is important to act quickly when a defect is found or suspected.

Beetle infestation and rot can cause timbers to become weak and structurally unsound, sometimes in a relatively short space of time. The quicker a defect is identified the easier and cheaper the problem will be to cure.

Wet rot fungal decay and beetle infestation are the most common problems found in buildings, however there are many more which can be identified by a C.S.R.T. timber surveyor. 

The characteristics of different types of rot and beetle infestation can be very similar in some cases; however, the severity and treatment does differ. All rot and beetle infestation can cause timber to become structurally weakened and should be investigated as soon it becomes apparent.

DRY ROT

• Damp, fungal mushroom smell
• Affected timber feels brittle and warped
• Deep cracks in the wood – often in a ‘cube’ formation
• Evidence of mycelium growth on timbers (white fluffy coating)
• Large fruiting bodies
• Decaying skirting boards & rotting sub floor timbers due to poor sub floor ventilation and lack of airbricks.

WET ROT

• Affected timber feels wet and spongy
• Affected timber will appear darker
• Easy to crumble
• Damp, musty odour
• Look out for black fungus growth

( Mis-Diagnosis) Church Road, Penny Lane, Wavertree, Liverpool, L15 9EB. March 2019

The vender selling this three-bedroom 1900 terraced house in Wavertree. Liverpool L15 had a free damp survey carried out by a (PCA) Property Care Association member damp-proofing company based in Liverpool, who stated that ‘rising damp was present due to the failure of the damp-proof course ‘ Duh!!! and then recommended a full chemical damp-proof course and plastering to all external walls for around £7,000.

Physical damp-proof courses to my knowledge rarely or never breakdown and providing that they are not bridged by raised ground levels can still be very effective in controlling rising dampness
Our independent damp surveyor carried out a damp-proof assessment and found that most areas highlighted on the free damp survey were free from damp and no  chemical damp-proofing was required.

There was some damp spots on the rear and side wall which was due to the garden patio being slightly raised above the damp course leading to low-level penetrating damp and ‘rising damp’ internally. This was easily remedied by reducing the level of the patio and removing the abutting earth / soil, so that ground levels were 150 mm below the damp course.

The cost of this was negligible as it was carried out by the vendor and just involved a bit of digging instead of wasting £7,000 on destructive chemical damp-proofing works and plastering.

It is important for you to ensure that your property is free from any damp and timber defects which could get progressively worse and depreciate your investment.

If you have been informed by the vendor that previous specialist damp proofing & woodworm treatment has been carried out by other damp-proof companies, which is guaranteed, you and your solicitor are advised to check exactly which areas of the property have been treated, if the damp company is a registered member of the Property Care Association (PCA) and if the damp-proofing contractors guarantee is valid.

You may be enticed by the offer of a “free survey” by other woodworm treatment companies & damp-proofing specialists based in Liverpool, however some local damp-proofing contractors and surveyors invariably state that your property has rising dampness and will unsurprisingly recommend the installation of a chemical damp-proof course together with timber treatments.

These treatments offered by approved damp-proofing specialists & dry rot treatment companies in Liverpool are rarely required and completely unjustifiable.

Most of this work as well as being costly and disruptive is usually unnecessary as rising dampness is often assumed to be the main problem when it may in fact be it could be condensation or penetrating damp, due to raised ground levels etc., and these two problems can usually be remedied at a fraction of the cost of remedial works.

Unfortunately, most damp-proofing surveyors in Liverpool, even Property Care Association (PCA) members, seem to have a default setting and will recommend chemical damp-proofing and water-proofing plastering works without considering other more environmentally friendly options as these specialist damp-proofing and timber treatment works have a much greater profit margin than general building work.

Before waiting for a purchaser to have a ‘free damp and timber survey’ it would be considered prudent, for any homeowner selling their property, to have their own independent damp and timber survey and written report undertaken to find the full extent and costs of any suspected rising damp, woodworm, & timber decay thus avoiding any potential buyer withdrawing their offer and pulling out of a property sale.
