A damp and timber survey is used to provide an in-depth understanding of the condition of your property, with the inspection used to identify any potential problems.

Damp issues can remain out of sight until it has caused severe damage, meaning a detailed investigation is important in order to pinpoint the underlying cause.

A CSRT/CSTDB qualified surveyor will start by inspecting the exterior of the property for any defects that could cause damp.

This will include an inspection of the condition of roof coverings, masonry, gutters, downpipes and drains, along with anything else that could be causing problems.

They will inspect the condition of any existing damp proof courses, and will inspect the property for any high ground levels abutting the property.

Following the external assessment, they will inspect the interior for any signs of damp, condensation, or mould growth. Our surveyors use specialist equipment, including moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

The surveyor will also assess internal timbers for any signs of woodworm or fungal decay which are often caused by damp problems.

All findings will be detailed in the survey report, with photos, and a tailored treatment plan if necessary.

If you notice damp patches, tide marks, or discoloured plaster on your walls or ceilings, you may have a damp problem.

Many properties have below ground spaces such as cellars or basements which can be used to increase living space for homeowners by carrying out specialist waterproofing.

This provides an ideal opportunity to gain additional living or storage room, enhancing both the functionality and overall market value of residential or commercial properties.

Below-ground spaces, particularly across Scotland, are vulnerable to damp and water ingress. Professional waterproofing is essential to keep the area dry, durable, and safe for protecting your possessions.

Wise Basement Systems offer expert basement waterproofing services designed to meet British Standard 8102 - the industry standard for waterproofing below ground structures.

We have a number of CSSW qualified surveyors and our dedicated waterproofing division can work with you at any stage of your waterproofing project.

Cracks in internal or external walls often point to underlying structural issues or failing wall ties. Across Scotland, many properties need structural repairs as they age over time, face general wear and tear, or endure environmental pressures like water damage, vibration, flooding, and subsidence.

Prolonged moisture exposure causes wall ties to corrode and deteriorate. When these ties fail, the inner and outer brick layers detach, making the walls susceptible to bowing, bulging, and even structural collapse.

Wise Property Care can provide you with an expert wall tie inspection and provide you with wall tie replacement services.
