Damp surveys can make a significant difference in terms of properties. It is crucial that any accommodation which is being used to shelter refugees has undergone a survey in order to ensure that the property is free from damp and safe to shelter in.
Making Sure A Property Is Habitable
One of the key aims of a damp survey is to ensure that a property is habitable. Making sure a property is habitable is very important and can ensure that the property is free from any more dangerous and long term hazards such as lack of structural stability or alternatively problems such as mould and condensation.
These problems are very important to tackle as failing to address and tackle them early can lead to them doing irreversible damage to a property which is bound to have long term damaging effects on the property and those living within it. In order to ensure that a damp survey is conducted correctly and to a high standard , it is important to use the services of a damp specialist.
Using the services of a damp specialist ensures that any issues there are can be addressed quickly and effectively. Many property owners make the mistake of trying to get untrained tradespeople or surveyors to find these issues and notify them. Often damp can go unnoticed as it requires specialist expertise and equipment in order to identify and remedy it effectively.
Preventing Future Property Issues
One of the main findings that may prompt action shortly after a property survey is identifying the need for damp proofing around a property. Having damp proofing fitted around a property is an excellent way through which future problems and issues can be prevented and also reduces the risk of property conditions becoming worse.
For example , a condensation issue could be worsened by the presence of damp as well as poor ventilation. Therefore an excellent remedy to this particular situation would be to have new windows fitted and installed as well as having damp proofing installed across the property.
After doing both of these tasks , you may well find that the overall ventilation in the property is improved as well as the general heat retention in and around the property. This can additionally help you to save more money on your average energy bills which is a significant benefit.
Additional Ways To Improve A Property
As well as the aforementioned ways of a improving a property , there are of course further additional ways through which a property can be greatly improved overall. Here are some of the main solutions:
- New and upgraded heating system
- Basement damp proofing
- Renewable energy source
- New door for the property
- Full property survey
- New curtains or blinds for the property
- Comprehensive damp proofing measures
Overall Findings
To conclude , it can be stated that clearly damp surveys have an important role to play in ensuring that properties can remain safe and habitable spaces. Without property surveys it may be difficult to live and function within one of these spaces/areas.
