Damp Diagnostic Survey
The Damp Diagnostic Survey is Procure Damp Proofing Group's most thorough moisture investigation short of a combined timber inspection. It is designed for properties where the cause of damp is unclear, where previous remediation has failed, or where multiple issues such as condensation, penetrating damp and rising damp may coexist. Using moisture meters, photographic records and a systematic inspection of the full building envelope, Procure technicians produce a detailed written report setting out root-cause diagnosis, moisture log data and a prioritised, costed remediation programme. This survey is commonly commissioned by homeowners with recurring problems, solicitors managing property disputes, landlords facing enforcement action and buyers of period or Victorian properties.

How It Works
Pre-Survey Preparation
We collect background information on the property, including age, construction type, previous works and heating patterns, so the survey is targeted and the final report is contextually accurate.
Full Diagnostic Inspection
Moisture meter readings are taken at multiple heights and locations across all affected elevations. The technician inspects DPC lines, render, pointing, gutters, internal plaster, skirting boards, subfloor ventilation and roof details where accessible.
Detailed Report and Remediation Programme
You receive a written diagnostic report with moisture log data, annotated photographs, root-cause analysis for each identified issue and a transparent, prioritised remediation quotation backed by our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Why Choose Us?
Root-cause diagnosis, not surface assumptions
A full diagnostic survey examines every potential moisture pathway, from bridged DPCs and failed pointing to inadequate subfloor ventilation, so remediation addresses the actual source rather than the visible symptom.
Reliable documentation for disputes and transactions
Detailed moisture logs, annotated photographs and written root-cause analysis are routinely used by solicitors, surveyors and environmental health officers as independent evidence in property disputes and purchase negotiations.
Over 20 years of diagnostic expertise in Bedfordshire
Two decades of inspecting period terraces, post-war semis and light commercial buildings means Procure technicians recognise complex, multi-source damp patterns that less experienced surveyors can miss.
