Damp Surveys in Swansea
Independent damp surveys across Swansea, from the seafront properties of Mumbles and the Marina to inner-city terraces in Brynmill, Uplands and Sketty. Honest diagnosis, no remedial sales.
Independent, evidence-based surveys
Swansea's coastal climate, exposed Gower locations and dense terraced streets create predictable damp patterns. A proper Swansea damp survey starts by asking what is causing the moisture, before recommending anything.
Our independent damp survey Swansea service inspects walls, floors, chimneys, sub-floor voids and rainwater goods using calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging where appropriate.
Because we don't sell damp-proofing, our findings are unbiased. You get a written report and clear remedies you can take to any builder.
Common damp problems in Swansea properties
Coastal exposure
Mumbles, Gower and Marina properties face wind-driven rain and salt-laden air that finds defective render and pointing.
Terraced streets
Brynmill, Uplands and Sandfields terraces share solid-wall construction and shared rainwater goods that fail unnoticed.
Bridged DPCs
Raised paths, render carry-down and new patios commonly bridge the damp-proof course.
Cavity wall failure
Post-war Swansea estates often suffer wall tie corrosion and bridged cavities causing internal damp.
Sub-floor ventilation
Blocked airbricks under suspended timber floors cause persistent ground-floor damp and rot.
Misdiagnosed condensation
Many Swansea 'rising damp' problems are condensation needing ventilation upgrades, not chemical 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, chemical injections or tanking, so our advice has no commercial bias.
Every finding in our damp survey Swansea report is backed by moisture readings, hygrometer data and photographs.
If your Swansea property doesn't need invasive treatment, we'll say so plainly. Sometimes the fix is venting and external repair, not £4,000 of injection work.

Surveys tailored to Swansea
We survey properties across Swansea including SA1 Marina, Mumbles, Sketty, Uplands, Brynmill, Sandfields, Townhill, Morriston, Gorseinon and the Gower villages.
If a Swansea damp-proofing firm has quoted you for extensive treatment, an independent second opinion can save thousands. Many Swansea damp issues are repairable from outside without chemical work.
Booking a Swansea damp survey in summer is a smart move, the dry months expose defects in render, pointing and rainwater goods that hide in winter, giving you time to repair before the wet season.
