Professional investigations to identify the source of damp, leaks, and water damage in your property.
Damp & Water Investigations
When unexplained damp or water damage occurs within a property, it is important to accurately identify the source before any repairs or remedial work begin. Our Damp & Water Investigation service provides an independent assessment to determine the cause of moisture problems and provide evidence-based findings.
Using specialist equipment and diagnostic techniques, we can identify the origin of damp issues, water leaks, and moisture ingress, helping property owners, landlords, insurers, and contractors understand exactly what has happened and what needs to be done.
Independent Damp Investigations
An independent damp survey can help resolve many problems that arise when moisture is present in a property. Our experienced surveyors use the latest technology to accurately diagnose damp issues and determine their underlying causes.
These investigations are often required in situations such as:
Insurance claims for water damage
Neighbour disputes involving water ingress
Landlord and tenant disagreements
Warranty or guarantee claims
Identifying the source of persistent damp problems
Verifying the cause of damage before remedial work
Our surveys provide clear findings and professional documentation, which can be used as evidence for insurers, property managers, or legal purposes.
Specialist Diagnostic Equipment
To determine the source of water ingress, we use a range of professional diagnostic tools designed to locate moisture and identify hidden problems within the structure of the building.
These may include:
Moisture meters
Thermal imaging cameras
Hygrometers to measure humidity levels
Surface and sub-surface moisture detection equipment
By combining technology with expert knowledge, we are able to pinpoint the cause of dampness and provide reliable conclusions.
Flood and Water Damage Assessments
We are also trained in professional techniques used to assess and manage water damage following flooding or leaks. After an incident involving water intrusion, it is important to ensure the property is properly dried before repairs or reinstatement begin.
Our services include:
Assessing the extent of water damage
Advising on the most effective drying methods
Monitoring moisture levels during the drying process
Carrying out final inspections before reinstatement work begins
This ensures the property is fully dried and safe for repairs, helping to prevent future problems such as mould growth or structural damage.
Situations Where an Investigation May Be Required
Our Damp & Water Investigations are commonly requested when properties experience issues such as:
Burst pipes causing internal water damage
Water escape from plumbing or appliances
Waste water leaks affecting walls or floors
Leaking roofs allowing water to penetrate the building
Ground water ingress affecting basements or lower walls
In each case, our aim is to identify the true source of the problem and provide clear guidance on the next steps.
Investigation Costs
The cost of a Damp & Water Investigation can vary depending on several factors, including:
The complexity of the issue
The size of the property
The time required for the investigation
The level of access available within the building
In most cases, we can provide an accurate estimate after an initial conversation once we understand the details of the problem and the property involved.
