damp Investigations & surveys

Book a survey now

Not sure if damp is creeping into your property? The sooner you catch it, the easier it is to fix. Our damp surveys give you a clear picture of what’s going on, whether it’s rising damp, condensation, or moisture getting in from outside. 

We’ll inspect your property, identify any issues, and give you straightforward advice on the best way to deal with it. Don’t wait until the damage gets worse. An investigation now could save you a whole lot of hassle (and expense) down the line. Get in touch today to book your damp survey—we’ll find the problem and help you get it sorted properly.

Damp Proofing Survey Instruments

Key Instruments We Use:

Moisture Meters

We utilize both penetrating moisture meters and non-invasive moisture meters to measure moisture content in walls, floors, and timbers.

Penetrating meters provide precise readings by inserting probes into materials, while non-invasive meters use electromagnetic signals to detect moisture without damaging surfaces.

Hygrometers

Used to measure air humidity and temperature, helping us assess condensation risk and humidity-related damp issues.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Advanced thermal imaging technology allows us to detect hidden moisture and cold spots behind walls and floors, pinpointing damp areas without intrusive investigation.

Endoscopic Cameras

For inspecting cavities, voids, and hard-to-reach areas, these flexible cameras help us visually assess potential damp issues inside wall structures.

Salt Analysis Kits

We conduct surface testing for hygroscopic salts, often a sign of rising damp or historical water ingress, to better understand the source and nature of dampness.

Calcium Carbide (Speedy) Moisture Tester

This chemical-based instrument is used for highly accurate readings of moisture content in masonry and concrete, especially for pre-plastering and flooring assessments.

Why Our Approach Stands Out

Combining traditional survey techniques with cutting-edge equipment ensures we gather comprehensive data on damp conditions. This meticulous approach allows West Sussex Interiors to deliver expert damp proofing solutions tailored to each property’s needs, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind for our clients.
