Damp Surveys in Newport
Independent damp surveys across Newport and Gwent. From riverside terraces in Pillgwenlly to suburban semis in Bettws and Rogerstone, we diagnose the true cause of damp, not sell you a remedy.
Independent, evidence-based surveys
Newport's mix of Victorian terraces, post-war estates and riverside properties produces a predictable range of damp problems. A proper Newport damp survey starts by identifying the actual cause before any treatment is suggested.
Our independent damp survey Newport service uses calibrated moisture meters, hygrometer readings and thermal imaging to inspect walls, floors, chimneys, sub-floor voids and rainwater goods.
Because we don't sell damp-proofing, you get unbiased advice in a written report you can take to any builder for fair quotes.
Common damp problems in Newport properties
Riverside terraces
Pill and city centre properties sit on low ground with high water tables, ground-floor damp is common.
Post-war estates
Bettws, Ringland and Alway homes often have cavity wall tie failure and bridged cavities.
Stone-built valley homes
Older properties around Risca and Crosskeys have solid stone walls that hold moisture differently.
Failed pointing & render
Driven rain off the Severn Estuary finds defective mortar joints quickly.
Bridged DPCs
Raised paths and new patios commonly bridge the damp-proof course.
Misdiagnosed condensation
Many 'rising damp' problems in Newport are condensation needing ventilation, not injection.

Why independent surveys matter
We don't sell treatments, chemicals, or remedial work. That means our only job is to find the truth and explain it to you clearly.
We don't sell damp-proof courses, injections or tanking. Our advice is based on what your property actually needs.
Every finding in our damp survey Newport report is supported by moisture data and photographs.
If invasive treatment isn't needed, we'll tell you. The honest fix is often external repair and improved ventilation.

Surveys tailored to Newport
We cover Newport including city centre, Pillgwenlly, Maindee, Bettws, Rogerstone, Caerleon, Risca, Cwmbran and the wider Gwent area.
If a Newport damp-proofing firm has quoted for extensive chemical treatment, an independent second opinion is well worth it. Most damp problems we see don't need injection.
Summer is the best window for a Newport damp survey, walls dry out, defects become visible, and you have time to complete any external repairs before autumn rain and winter condensation set in.
