Add-On

Laboratory Analysis of Plaster Samples

Small plaster samples are carefully taken from affected walls and submitted to an independent laboratory for salt analysis. The laboratory tests for the presence and precise concentration of hygroscopic salts, including nitrates and chlorides.

Diagnostic Value: Soluble ground salts are drawn up through masonry during rising damp and remain in plaster permanently. Salt analysis scientifically differentiates true rising damp from condensation or historic leak contamination.

Note: Plaster sampling requires minor material removal and is our only add-on involving minor invasive work.

Best For

This survey is best for customers who need a damp and timber inspection. It is suitable where there may be concerns about damp,

wood rot, dry rot, wet rot, woodworm or moisture hidden behind building materials.

The Level 2 Damp Survey uses equipment that can read deeper into building materials, including areas such as subfloors, under
floorboards, behind panelling and other accessible hidden areas. This allows us to get a better understanding of whether there may
be hidden damp within the property without dismantling or damaging materials.

This survey is very suitable for home buyers and sellers who want a more detailed damp inspection before purchasing or selling a
property.
