Properties throughout Basildon can suffer from a variety of damp-related issues. During our surveys we regularly identify:
- Rising damp

- Roof leaks
- Defective guttering and downpipes
- Plumbing leaks
- Damp around windows and doors
- Poor ventilation
- Bridged damp proof courses

Rising Damp Surveys in Basildon
Rising damp occurs when groundwater rises through masonry walls due to a failed or ineffective damp proof course. Common signs include:
- Damp patches at low level
- Salt deposits on walls
- Peeling wallpaper
- Crumbling plaster
- Damp skirting boards
Our survey will determine whether genuine rising damp is present and what repairs may be required.
Condensation and Mould Investigations
Condensation is one of the most common causes of damp complaints within modern and older properties.
We assess:
- Ventilation levels
- Heating patterns
- Moisture generation within the home
- Thermal bridging
- Mould growth risks
Where necessary we provide practical recommendations to reduce condensation and prevent mould from returning.
