What is a Damp and Timber Survey?

Damp report and an external inspection to locate the position of any damp course and for high ground levels which may lead to low level dampness.
Roof timber survey / inspection to the loft timbers & wooden floors for dry rot, wet rot and woodworm, due to water damage
Independent damp-proof specialists can also inspect & report upon any remedial damp & timber treatment work, which may have been previously carried out on a property in Rhos on Sea and guaranteed by PCA approved registered damp-proofing and timber treatment companies in Rhos on Sea.
Woodworm treatment specialists in Rhos on Sea can also inspect roofing timbers for any signs of dry rot, wet rot timber decay and active woodworm found in lofts.
Damp and timber inspection to assess whether (air bricks) sub floor ventilation is adequate and to check that there is no woodworm, rising damp & wood rot decay present in the floor or roof timbers.
Dry rot, damp & woodworm survey with a report as requested by mortgage companies for suspected timber decay dry rot, wet rot and any active woodworm in roofs & floor timbers, for clients buying or selling a property in Rhos on Sea.

For added piece of mind we cover the whole of Wales. We survey all types of construction- e.g., stone & brick built cottages, detached, semi-detached, mid & end terraced house, bungalow, ground floor flat etc.

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 for woodworm infestation, 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 Rhos on Sea 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 Rhos on Sea 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 ‘specialist PCA 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 Rhos on Sea 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 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 is free from rising dampness, wood boring insects, and wood rotting fungi.

You may not buying a property in Rhos on Sea, and therefore do not need a pre purchase mortgage damp and timber report, then we can still help with our trouble shooter survey. Our independent damp surveyors can carry out brief damp and timber surveys to give you peace of mind.

Damp survey? Damp report? These terms come up every day, in and around Rhos on Sea, 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 & timber survey or a PCA damp & timber report is asked for by mortgage lenders, people just 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 is a damp report is likely to 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 valuation 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 a 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.

Recommendations, as to what to do about the damp (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.

At Adept UK, we pride ourselves in our customer service and look forward to demonstrating how we can assist you and your condensation problems. In Rhos on Sea condensation and damp problems can cause significant damage to properties, and if left untreated it can take a long time and be very expensive to repair.

Damp & condensation problems can lead to further issues including mould, decorative spoiling & damage to furniture and house contents.

Of the many problems that can affect your home over time, dampness & condensation are two of the most worrying. Damp is capable of affecting the whole structure of your property and can also result in health problems for residents.

These problems cause stress and worry, for home owners, tenants and landlords. Damp and condensation look’s unsightly, despite regular cleaning, so it is essential to deal with the root cause.

Aspergillus is an extremely toxic mould which causes damage and rot in many properties, and can come with some serious health risks to vulnerable people if ignored. Under the right conditions, and if left undetected mould can lead to health problems such as allergens, respiratory infections, allergies and asthma. They can also affect your immune system.

Diagnosing damp & timber decay problems in Rhos on Sea.

Building valuation Surveyors, when carrying out damp and timber inspections for Building Societies or mortgage companies, will check for dampness using an electrical conductance moisture meter most commonly manufactured by “Protimeter”.

Electrical moisture meters can only be used to accurately assess the level of moisture in timber as this is the primary task they were designed for. When used in other materials it can only record the presence of surface moisture and is unable to determine the true moisture content existing below the surface, i.e., within the wall.

High readings (often mis-diagnosed as dampness) can also be obtained from plasters containing black ask mortar and also foil-backed wallpaper so the you should be wary of any surveyor or damp-proofing company relying solely on the use of moisture meters.

Chartered Surveyors are therefore only able to detect surface moisture, and will often report: “there is evidence of rising dampness and remedial damp-proofing work in this respect is required”. Alternatively: “you need to instruct a damp-proofing and timber treatment contractor to carry out a full investigation to investigate the full extent of the problem and the necessary repairs required, together with an estimate for any damp-proofing and timber treatments.”

The purchaser may then proceed to commission specialist remedial treatment contractors offering a ‘free damp and timber survey’’ found on Google or perhaps recommended by the Estate Agent to inspect and provide a report and estimate.

If you are a house-owner and invite a damp-proofing company to inspect your home for dampness problems, the damp surveyor will inevitably confirm that confirm that you do have a damp problem which can be cured with a new chemical damp-proof course.

Damp-proofing companies and surveyors, often members of the Property Care Association (PCA), also use electrical moisture meters and they are likely to solemnly declare the presence of rising damp in a report which usually states : “Random tests were carried out with a moisture meter to both internal and external wall at ground level.

At the time of our inspection, high levels of dampness were obtained in the following areas… It is our opinion that these high levels of dampness found at the base of the aforementioned walls are attributed to rising dampness due to the absence of an effective damp proof course’.

They then recommend the installation of an injected chemical damp proof course and associated internal re-plastering. This work causes a fair amount of mess internally as it involves chopping off plaster, removing skirting boards, re-plastering and also injecting a damp-proof course into the walls. After this the householder has to wait up to a year to allow the walls to dry before any redecorating can take place.

What signs to look for?

Your first step in fixing any dampness in your home 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 walls will be affected by this type of damp. Signs of rising damp include:

A noticeable tidemark on an interior wall up to 1.5m
Peeling paint and flaking skirting boards
Blistering plaster or paint
White powder on walls (salts)

PENERTRATING DAMPNESS

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

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

CONDENSATION

Condensation is caused by poor ventilation and is the most common type of damp to affect UK homes. Condensation mostly occurring during the winter when the difference between external and internal temperatures is most dramatic. Signs of condensation problem include:

Fogging on windows
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, woodworm 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, concealed floor joists, skirting boards 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

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

Damp-Proofing Specialists in Rhos on Sea

Many enquiry’s we have from clients throughout Rhos on Sea, is that they need a damp survey and quotation from damp specialists for damp proofing because they suspect rising damp and have been informed by a builder that they have rising damp and damp proofing is needed in the form of a chemical proof injection.

This is usually not the case. Most of the time dampness is found to be present due to lack of maintenance, bridging of the physical damp proof course or another source of moisture.

If you notice tide marks on your walls, peeling paint, wet patches or damaged skirting boards, you may have a rising damp problem, which most commonly affects older properties. Rising damp occurs when porous materials, such as mortar, bricks and stone, soak up moisture, and the dangers include timber decay, wet rot, various health conditions and more.

Whether it’s due to the damp-proof course in your walls being ineffective, poor ventilation or a drainage problem, it’s crucial to resolve the issue promptly for the sake of your comfort, finances and home’s condition.

This is where our independent specialist damp and timber surveyors’ step in to provide you with an accurate and honest diagnosis. Initially, locating the damp proof course/level is the first procedure. Then identifying potential bridging issues of the damp proof course level, or in other instances other sources of moisture ingress that may present as rising damp to the inexperienced surveyor but in actual fact this is far from accurate.

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 Rhos on Sea is carried out by a fully qualified CSRT surveyor to provide you with the correct diagnosis of any damp problems you may have. Once the damp problem has been diagnosed, an appropriate damp proofing recommendation can be provided in writing with our specially designed damp report.
