Rising Damp Treatment
Assessment of rising damp indicators with appropriate damp-proofing, salt-resistant preparation and reinstatement where required.

THE SURVEY PROCESS
What happens on the day.
A structured inspection separates the visible symptom from the underlying moisture or environmental cause.
Visual Inspection
Document visible damp, mould, staining and relevant internal and external areas, with photographs where useful.
Diagnostics
Use moisture readings, thermal imaging and humidity measurements to test the likely cause.
Written Report
Set out the diagnosis, evidence and recommended next steps clearly for the property owner or manager.
EQUIPMENT WE USE
Diagnostic kit, not guesswork.
The right evidence helps distinguish between different moisture sources and treatment routes.
Thermal Imaging Camera
Detects cold-bridging, hidden leaks and wet zones without disturbing finishes.
Protimeter Moisture Meter
Pin and pinless moisture readings in masonry, plaster and timber for a quantitative diagnosis.
Hygrometer
Internal humidity and temperature readings to identify condensation risk and dew points.
Data Loggers
For longer-term condensation diagnosis we leave data loggers in place to record humidity over days or weeks.
Borescope Camera
Inspection inside cavity walls and behind fitted units without removing finishes.
Salt Test Kits
Chemical analysis to differentiate between rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation.

FAQS
Damp & mould - your questions answered.
Do you only treat the mould?
No. The aim is to understand the underlying reason for the mould before treatment is recommended.
Can recurring mould be linked to a leak?
Yes. Hidden moisture from leaks can contribute to mould growth, so the wider property should be considered.
How long does a survey take?
The time depends on the property and complexity. We explain the scope when arranging the survey.
Can you help landlords with reporting?
Yes. We can provide structured inspection findings, evidence and treatment recommendations for property records.
Do you assess condensation?
Yes. Humidity, ventilation and cold-surface conditions can all form part of the diagnosis.
Can you work with insurers?
Where required, reports and supporting evidence can be prepared for insurance-related cases.
