Damp and mould when left untreated, can be as dangerous as it is frustrating! Whether it be the danger it imposes on your home, or even on your health, it’s definitely not something worth ignoring. That’s why at CavClear, we offer an extensive damp and mould survey, to identify and address these issues before they become a problem.
What do we look at in a Damp and Mould Survey?
During our damp and mould survey, our team inspects various areas of your property to identify potential sources of damp and mould. We pay particular attention to:
The Main Area of Concern:
First things first, we check the reason you called us. You may have spotted a damp patch or an area of mould, this is where we start!
Walls, Ceilings, and Chimneys:
We check these areas all over the property, for any visible signs of damp, such as water stains, peeling paint, or mould.
Gutters and Drainpipes:
We check the condition of your gutters and drainpipes, making they are effectively diverting water away from your property.
Window Seals:
We check the integrity of your window seals to determine if any gaps or damage could be contributing to moisture ingress. We also check for mould and damp around these areas, as it can be common!
Based on the outcome of your damp survey, we identify the type/types of damp within your property, allowing us to make a detailed recommendation on how to solve your damp and mould problems. These types of damp include…
Rising Damp:
Moisture is seeping up through the walls from the ground below.
Penetrating Damp:
Water is entering the property through gaps or cracks in the external structure.
Condensation:
Excess moisture in the air condenses on cold surfaces, leading to dampness and mould growth.
Why You Need a Damp and Mould Survey:
Early Detection means you can identify damp and mould issues early and better yet, address them quickly to prevent further damage to your property.
