A Timber and Damp Survey
A building left untreated from damp, wood rot, and insect infestation can cause serious complications for structural integrity. To the untrained eye, the presence and severity of the issues are not always immediately detectable. Although damp timber and other complications can be resolved fairly easily when identified early by a qualified professional, you cannot fix the damp timber problem unless you know it is there. This is why it is important to have a timber and damp survey prepared at your property.
