Timber & Damp
The MERCIAN PROPERTY INSPECTORS Timber & Damp survey will identify any issues at the property in relation to rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation.


Rising damp is the most common form and is caused by moisture from the ground rising up through the walls. The moisture often carries salts, which are deposited on the wall when it evaporates. Internal decorations are stained and damaged, while plaster can de-bond and become loose.

The report will also highlight any structural problems that are affecting the wood and timber in your home, including fungal decay and woodworm.

Our Timber & Damp report will identify areas where damp or woodworm / infestation is present and will give recommendations for repair and any associated costs.
