Damp Inspections

To help you maintain the warmth in your house and keep it free from any potential damp problems, Flodman Electrical have now been certified as damp inspectors.
What does this mean you may ask?
A damp inspection is a thorough examination of a property to identify any sources of moisture and assess the extent of any dampness that is present. In short it is an important procedure for identifying potential problems that can lead to damage to the property and health risks for the occupants

The benefits:

• Identify and address the source of damp: Damp can have a variety of causes, such as rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation. A damp inspection will help to identify the specific cause of the problem so that it can be addressed effectively.
• Prevent damage to the property: Damp can cause a variety of problems to a property, such as structural damage, rot, and the growth of mould. Early identification and treatment of damp can help to prevent these problems and save money on repairs in the long run.
• Improve the health of occupants: Damp and mould can trigger a variety of health problems, such as respiratory problems, allergies, and skin irritation. A damp inspection can help to identify and address damp and mould problems, which can improve the health of the occupants.
• Increase the value of the property: A property with a history of damp problems is likely to be worth less than a property that is free from damp. Addressing damp problems before selling a property can help to increase its value.
• Peace of mind: Knowing that your property is free from damp problems can give you peace of mind.

How we can inspect
When to get a damp inspection:

• If you are buying a property, it is important to get a damp inspection before you exchange contracts.
• If you are experiencing any signs of damp in your property, such as water stains, peeling wallpaper, or a musty smell, it is important to get a damp inspection to identify the cause of the problem.
• If you are planning to carry out any major renovations to your property, it is a good idea to get a damp inspection to make sure there are no underlying damp problems that could affect the work.

What to expect from a damp inspection:
A damp inspection by Flodman Electrical will involve a visual inspection of the property, as well as the use of moisture meters and other specialist equipment. We will then produce a report that outlines the findings of the inspection and any recommendations for remedial action.
How much does a damp inspection cost?
The cost of a damp inspection will vary depending on the size and type of property, as well as the qualifications and experience of the inspector. However, when you use ourselves, you can expect to pay between £150 and £300 for a damp inspection.
If you are about to sell or move into a house and want to have the assurance that it is in good state then please free to book a damp inspection via ourselves.
