Damp proofing

If you have noticed damp patches on walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, tide marks, or a persistent musty smell, it may indicate a damp problem within your property. Damp can affect both the appearance and condition of a building and, if left untreated, may lead to further deterioration of internal finishes and structural timbers. A professional damp proofing survey is the most effective way to identify the type of damp present and determine the most appropriate solution.

During a Timberwise damp survey, an experienced specialist will carry out a thorough inspection of the affected areas of the property. The surveyor will assess visible signs of moisture, check internal and external walls, and investigate potential sources of damp such as rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation. Moisture levels may be measured and surrounding areas examined to understand how dampness is affecting the building.

Following the survey, you will receive clear professional advice on the findings and any recommended remedial work. The aim of the survey is not only to identify the presence of damp but also to determine the underlying cause, whether that relates to moisture ingress, defective damp proof courses, poor ventilation, or other building defects. By diagnosing the problem accurately, the correct damp proofing treatment and repairs can be recommended to protect the property.

Timberwise damp proofing surveys are available for both domestic and commercial properties, providing property owners, landlords and businesses with expert guidance when damp problems arise. Booking a professional survey gives you the reassurance of a detailed assessment and clear recommendations to help restore and protect your property.
