Finding the cause, not just treating the symptom
Depending on the circumstances, an investigation may consider:
- Moisture patterns
- Condensation
- Humidity
- Dew point
- Ventilation
- Penetrating moisture
- Suspected ground moisture
- External defects
- Timber condition
- Wet and dry rot
- Wood-boring insects
- Thermal patterns
Methods used where appropriate
- Visual inspection
- Moisture measurements
- Humidity and dew-point assessment
- Thermal imaging where appropriate
Not every technique is used on every survey — the approach depends on the property and the concern.

Following the survey, you'll receive a professional written report explaining:
- Observed findings
