What Causes Damp and Mould in Homes?

Damp problems are often the result of poor ventilation, rising damp, leaking pipes, or issues with a property's structure. Left untreated, these problems can lead to mould growth, damage to walls and floors, and an unhealthy living environment.

Common signs of damp issues in homes include:

Musty smells

Peeling paint or wallpaper

Black mould patches on walls or ceilings

Excess condensation on windows

Our damp surveys for homes can help identify the source of the issue and recommend the most effective solution.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions - Damp and Mould Surveys

How much is a damp and mould survey?

A mould survey's cost varies based on the size and specific needs of your property, with prices typically starting from £200.

What does a damp and mould surveyor do?

A damp and mould surveyor will meticulously examine your home to pinpoint crucial factors like thermal bridges and cold spots, alongside elements contributing to elevated humidity. Following this detailed assessment, they will provide expert recommendations on effective strategies to resolve these issues.

Is it worth paying for a damp survey?

Investing in a damp survey is definitely worthwhile; it's the best way to uncover and address the root cause of your issue - instead of just constantly cleaning mould away.

How do you test for damp and mould?

Testing for damp and mould involves both visual inspection and specialized equipment. You'll look for visible mould (discoloration, fuzzy spots) and damp signs (peeling paint, stains, musty smells). We use moisture meters to check material moisture, meters for air humidity, and thermal imaging cameras to find hidden damp spots. We will also carry out an invasive survey inside walls and roofspace where appropriate. Ultimately, a professional surveyor offers the most accurate diagnosis and root cause identification.
