Flood Doctor have a team of highly trained specialists, who conduct comprehensive damp and moisture surveys on both residential and commercial properties.

Damp and moisture may be a result of water entering your building from the outside, leaks, rising damp or condensation within your property.
Sometimes it is not clear what the source of excess moisture is in a property. Common areas of damp can be found in the loft, bathrooms, basements, building facades and conservatories.
You can rely on us to complete a thorough damp and moisture survey in order to fully understand the level of the damp and moisture problem, which areas of your building are affected, what the causation is and what you need to do to rectify the problem.
Acting quickly to determine the causation and subsequently rectifying the cause can drastically mitigate additional costs in the future.
Ignoring damp or moisture in your property, can lead to further damage (secondary damage). Even in areas which have not been directly affected.
Following a water damage incident, the internal atmosphere will become very humid, moisture could be absorbed from the air by many materials (e.g. plasterboard, wood) and the moisture levels of these materials could rise sufficiently to support mould growth.
If you have concerns about damp or moisture, call us today to arrange a survey on 0800 285 1447.
We use the best equipment, including the latest generation of moisture meters, thermal cameras, salt testing kits, calcium carbide testers, air and surface sampling for mould and a MJI MAVIC 2 Pro Drone to check the damp, moisture and mould levels in a building.
We will investigate the property to determine the causation and any underlying problems there may be before presenting a solution.
During our survey we carry out a full internal and external inspection, this is a non invasive survey, unless otherwise requested. Our internal checks include walls, plaster, skirting and timbers. Our external checks include, roof, flashing, doors, windows and drainage.
Following the internal and external observations, we will provide you with a full report. Our report will include the following:
Our reports are written so they are easy to understand and can be forwarded to insurers to back up a claim or used in the process of purchasing a property.
We will follow up with you by telephone after sending the report, to discuss our findings and answer any questions you may have.
Excess moisture can cause mould to grow and create poor indoor air quality. This can lead to respiratory problems in people and animals, including infections, allergies and asthma. It can also have a negative impact on your immune system. The health implications are more severe for those with poor immune systems, existing skin conditions, young children and the elderly.
If you think you are suffering from health problems as a result of excess moisture in your property, it is important that you seek assistance immediately to prevent your health issues from getting any worse.
As well as health issues in people and animals; damp, moisture and mould can cause issues with the health of your building.
Damp and moisture enables the growth of fungi in wood, causing it to rot or mould or other microbes to grow.
Plaster can be irreversibly damaged and wallpaper will peel and flake away. You may notice unsightly stains. Brickwork and mortar will weaken and crumble and any metals exposed to excess moisture will rust. Leading to major structural issues which can be a huge safety risk and over time become incredibly expensive to fix.
