Yes. We carry out professional damp surveys throughout Portland for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and commercial property owners. Our surveyors identify the source of the moisture problem and provide clear recommendations for treatment where required.
The first step is identifying what is causing the mould. In Portland, mould is often linked to condensation, poor ventilation, penetrating damp or excess humidity caused by the coastal environment. Simply cleaning mould away will not solve the problem if the moisture source remains. We can inspect the property and recommend the most effective solution.
Mould returns when the underlying moisture problem has not been addressed. This may be caused by condensation, leaking pipework, damp walls, poor ventilation or water ingress. Treating the source of the moisture is essential to prevent recurring mould growth.
