Why Choose Us for Damp Surveys in Devon?

Climate-Related Damp
Devon’s coastal location and relatively high rainfall create the right conditions for dampness, mould & rot. Homes by the sea are especially vulnerable.
Older Buildings
Many properties in Devon were built before modern insulation and damproofing standards, making them prone to ingress, condensation and mould buildup.
Rural Homes
Rising groundwater and related problems are frequently seen in countryside locations.

David was very helpful, knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions I threw at him last week, and there were a lot!
His feedback has saved the need for unrequired damp proof course work and will no doubt have saved our house sale from stalling. Thank you, I would have no hesitations in recommending or using David again.

With thanks for the report and your work. We will be speaking to the builder about action to try and resolve the problem.
We appreciated your warm approachable manner and your willingness to listen and are grateful that you identified condensation to be the problem after various other attempts to try and identify the damp patch had not been successful.

Elecia, whose house it was, said she was so impressed that she will try to hire you herself and you can’t get a better recommendation than that.
