ADDRESSING DAMP, CONDENSATION AND MOULD ISSUES AS A RESULT OF POOR VENTILATION, HEATING, INSULATION AND ROOF ISSUES: A BUILDING SURVEYING CONSULTANCY'S INSIGHT TO THE CAUSE OF THESE ISSUES AND CORRECTION
Wednesday 21st February 2024
Recently, we were entrusted by a client to conduct a thorough damp and condensation survey on a property.
Upon completing the site visit, we carefully documented our findings in a comprehensive damp report, complete with vivid pictures to provide context to the client. However, our commitment to client satisfaction did not end there. We went a step further by crafting a detailed schedule of works outlining the necessary steps to rectify the identified issues. This proactive approach ensured that the client was not only informed but also equipped with a clear roadmap towards resolving the damp and condensation challenges.
One of the key advantages of our diligent approach was the cost-saving benefit it offered to the client. By surgically pinpointing the exact sources of the issues and obtaining quotes for the remedial works, we helped our client potentially save hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds. This exemplifies our dedication to not just identifying problems but also providing actionable solutions that prioritise our client's best interests.
The significance of addressing damp and condensation issues cannot be overstated, especially in light of recent news highlighting the prevalence of such issues in houses and social housing. These issues not only compromise the structural integrity of buildings but also pose health risks to occupants. Mould growth, respiratory problems, and property damage are just a few consequences of neglected damp and condensation issues.
By proactively engaging building surveying consultancies like Tayross Associates, property owners can safeguard their investments, protect the well-being of occupants, and avoid costly repairs in the long run. Our meticulous approach, coupled with our commitment to transparent communication and tailored solutions, sets us apart as a reliable partner in addressing and resolving damp and condensation challenges.
