Damp Surveys

Experts Across Southern England & Wales

For homeowners across the South Coast—from Dorset, Hampshire, Bristol, Bath and South Wales—the most reliable way to understand hidden moisture issues is through a comprehensive damp survey. At Nordic Damp Proofing Ltd we deploy specialist inspection methods and tools to detect, assess and document damp, so you have full clarity about your property’s condition.

What, Why & How We Carry Out a Damp Survey

What We Do

We perform a targeted inspection of your property, focusing on all forms of moisture — rising, penetrating or condensation. We use thermal imaging, moisture meters and visual checks to build a full picture of the condition.

Why It Matters

Failing to identify the root cause of damp can lead to ongoing damage, higher repair costs and health risks. A professional survey gives you clear insight into what’s wrong, how serious it is and what needs to be done.

How We Carry It Out

1. Pre-Inspection Review

We gather property background (age, previous works, any perceived issues).

2. External Walk-Round:

We inspect gutters, ground levels, brickwork and any obvious external defects.

3. Internal Inspection & Testing:

Using moisture/humidity meters, thermal imaging and visual checks inside the property — walls, floors, hidden spaces

4. Data Analysis & Reporting:

We compile the findings, annotate key issues, photograph evidence and outline recommendations, delivering the full document for your review.

If you’re experiencing unexplained damp patches, persistent condensation, salt deposits on walls or you’re buying or managing a property and want peace of mind, our team is ready to perform a thorough damp survey. We can discuss how the inspection would work, what areas we’ll examine, and how the report will support your next decisions.

What We Include in a Damp Survey

Exterior Inspection & Moisture Entry Analysis

Our survey begins outdoors: we inspect roof­coverings, gutters/downpipes, wall elevations, ground levels and any obvious bridging of damp proof courses. This early stage identifies external defects which may allow moisture ingress.

Internal Visual Checks & Surface Tests

Inside your property we check for tide-marks, bubble paint, musty odours, peeling plaster and visible signs of damp. These tell-tale signs help we map moisture impacts.

Advanced Diagnostic Tools

We use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras and humidity sensors to capture hidden damp, cold-bridging, high-humidity pockets or faulty insulation. These technical tools ensure the picture is complete.

Report with Photo-Evidence & Recommendations

Following inspection we deliver a clear written report with annotated images, moisture-profiles, identified causes, and tailored recommendations for remedial or preventative action.
