Thermal Imaging Damp Surveys

Non-Invasive Diagnostics Across Southern England & Wales

When you suspect dampness, mould or structural moisture problems in your home—Dorset, Hampshire, Bristol, Bath and South Wales—our thermal imaging damp surveys provide a powerful tool for uncovering hidden issues. Using infrared cameras alongside traditional moisture testing and timber/structure inspection, we deliver a clear understanding of moisture risk and its source.

What, Why & How We Conduct a Thermal Imaging Damp Survey

What We Do

We carry out a specialist inspection using thermal imaging to identify temperature anomalies that indicate hidden damp or moisture—and then back that up with standard diagnostic tools and visual inspection.

Why It Matters

Moisture problems often hide behind walls, under floorboards or in roof voids. Thermal imaging enables early detection of hidden damp, reducing repair costs, health risks (e.g., mould) and structural damage.

How We Carry It Out

1. Pre-Inspection Review:

We begin with a short briefing: property details, known issues, relevant areas of concern.

2. On-site scan:

we use thermal camera indoors/outdoors to identify “cold” or “warm” anomalies, then use moisture meters, humidity sensors and visual checks to validate.

3. Analysis:

We review data, interpret the thermal images, correlate with moisture/humidity readings and determine whether the anomaly is due to moisture or another cause (e.g., cold bridging).

4. Report:

We produce a written document with thermograms, photographs, findings, cause‐analysis and suggested next steps.

If you suspect hidden moisture, recurring damp patches, unexplained mould or cold walls—this survey gives you clarity and actionable insight. We can schedule the inspection, carry out the diagnostic work and deliver the full report so you understand exactly what’s happening, then decide on repair or prevention measures with confidence.

What We Include in a Thermal Imaging Damp Survey

Exterior & Internal Thermal Scan

We deploy high-resolution infrared (IR) cameras to scan the building envelope, walls, floors and ceilings. Damp surfaces often appear as cooler zones in a thermogram because of evaporative cooling or moisture content.

Moisture & Humidity Data

We pair thermal imaging with moisture meters and humidity sensors to correlate thermal anomalies with actual moisture levels inside walls, timber or sub-floors.

Visual & Instrument Inspection

Our survey includes a visual inspection to complement the thermal data: we examine skirting boards, plaster finishes, joinery, roof voids and sub-floors for signs of damp, rot or decay.

Detailed Written Report with Thermograms & Photos

You receive a comprehensive report with annotated thermal images, visual photographs, findings, moisture profiles and clear recommendations for remedial works or monitoring.

Cause-Analysis & Next Step Guidance

Our report doesn’t stop at identification. We explain likely sources of the moisture (rising, penetrating, condensation or cold-bridging) and outline how you should address it and prevent recurrence.
