Prevent and Stop Damp with a Damp Survey

Damp problems can cause significant damage to your property if left untreated. From peeling paint to serious structural damage, the signs of damp are not always obvious until the damage is done. That’s where CavClear comes in. Our comprehensive damp survey is your one-stop solution to identifying and addressing damp issues in your home.

Knowing the signs of damp is the first step in protecting your home. These are the key signs of damp to look out for:

• Peeling or bubbling paint: This often signifies that moisture is trapped beneath the surface.
• Mould growth: Black spots on walls, ceilings, or in corners indicate excess moisture.
• Musty smells: Persistent musty smells suggest hidden damp areas.
• Discolouration: Brown or dark patches on walls or ceilings are another sign±
• Cold or damp walls: Walls that feel cold or wet to the touch may indicate rising damp or condensation issues.

When is it time to book a Damp Survey?

Booking a damp survey is essential if you notice any of the signs mentioned above or if you’re purchasing a new property. Other times to consider a damp survey include:

• After heavy rainfall: Persistent damp patches can emerge after periods of significant rain.
• Before renovation: Identifying and fixing damp issues before you start renovations can save you money and headaches.
• Maintenance: Regular surveys can catch potential issues early, preventing major repairs later.
