Damp & Timber Surveys in Swansea & South Wales
Damp and timber problems are often connected. A combined investigation looks at both together, so that moisture sources and any effect on timbers are considered in one report.
When a combined survey may be appropriate
- Damp is present near floors, joists or skirtings
- Timber feels soft, or rot is suspected
- You want one report covering the whole property
- A property has been empty or poorly ventilated
- There are signs of both moisture and insect damage
- You're buying, letting or managing an older property
Looking at the whole picture
Depending on the property, a combined survey can cover moisture patterns, condensation, suspected penetrating or ground moisture, external defects, timber condition, wet and dry rot, and wood-boring insects where relevant.
The aim is to understand how these factors relate to each other, and to explain likely causes and sensible next steps in a single written report.
Your written report
After the inspection you'll receive a professional written report explaining:
- Observed findings
- Likely causes
- Relevant contributing factors
- Recommended next steps
Inspections cover accessible areas and are non-invasive unless otherwise agreed. Concealed defects may not be identifiable without further investigation.
