It is important to get a damp survey as soon as you spot any signs of damp, even if you’re not sure that it is a problem. Signs include watermarks or discolouration on walls, condensation, mould, peeling wallpaper and blistered paint. Is it also good practice to carry out a damp survey before selling or buying a property.
You need to get a professional damp survey because damp in a home or business can have serious consequences. Excess moisture leads to the growth of mould, which can cause serious illness and even damage the structural integrity of a building. Furthermore, water damage can significantly decrease the overall value of your property.

Both dry and wet rot are wood-destroying fungi but there are large differences between them. Wet rot, as the names suggests, needs a much a high moisture level of around 50% to grow whereas dry rot can start to spread in much dryer conditions. Wet rot tends to be confined to one area of the timber and is relatively easy to treat.
Dry rot is a much more serious problem as it can spread and destroy other timbers in the property leading to a serious safety hazard. If you think your property is suffering from either type, call us straight away on 01202 737739 and we’ll conduct a professional damp survey.
