A damp and timber survey assesses your property’s overall condition to identify any preservation problems. Damp issues are often complex, making detailed investigation essential to pinpoint the underlying cause.

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

They will visually inspect the roof coverings, the condition of masonry, guttering and drains as well as anything else that could be causing problems. They will also inspect the condition of any existing damp proof courses and check for any high ground levels abutting the property.

Once the external inspection is carried out, they will move inside the property to investigate any evidence of damp, condensation or mould growth. Our surveyors are equipped with specialist tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to aid in their 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.

Because different types of damp can affect properties in Scotland, it is important to identify the exact root cause, whether it is condensation, rising damp, or penetrating damp.

Our Cumbernauld team specialises in identifying the specific type of damp affecting your property and recommending long-term solutions to fix the problem.

With deep expertise in local architecture across Cumbernauld, our surveyors provide tailored, long-lasting solutions designed to protect your property for years to come.

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.

Wall tie failure and other structural issues can cause both internal and external cracking, and as properties age, repairs may need to be carried out.

Many properties need structural repairs as masonry deteriorates over time, walls 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.

We are an approved Helifix installer and can work with structural engineers to provide a long term fix for your property.
