- It's called a 'damp investigation' for a reason, it's an investigation!
Already this morning I've been sent two reports, one from an independent damp surveyor another from a contractor. Neither referred to the PCA, HE, RICS - JPS (Joint Position Statement) neither followed best practice guidelines and neither included any form of investigation. They provided the client with nothing other than an opinion guided by visual inspection and readings taken using an electronic moisture meter.
I often expect this when the surveys are free however, the clients paid for these surveys which is even more shocking.
If your surveyor turns up with a damp meter and provides a diagnosis without any sort of investigation or diagnostic analysis, then move on and find someone that will.
follow up vid with repair work?
Apart from that, it's not too bad!
😆
I wish my survey covered even half of what you guys did! I'm currently dealing with all the problems you've covered in the video. Had to dig out the whole hallway as it was filled with concrete and no dpc, had the same tiles laid on the concrete, which were covered in salts.
if you want my professional opinion, "this house IS damp."
Decorator needs sacking
That’s a total rip out and start again
A house shaped object, sadly.
Great information this guys. Ive just had to rip up a rotten suspended floor and now installed 2 air bricks to improve air flow and rid the outside of concrete layed upto the outer wall. Should i treat the upper foor with dry rot wood worm treatment can the spores become airborne and infect the bedroom floor above?
I am not an expert, but mold and rot only grows if the conditions are right.
If its dry properly dont need to worry
