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

Our surveyors have experience surveying buildings across Newton Mearns, with extensive knowledge of local architecture. This means we will provide you with lasting solutions specifically designed to protect your property long term.

If you require damp proofing, our technicians are skilled in carrying out effective treatments and joinery to the highest industry standards.

To protect your home during repairs, our technicians use Hilti dust extraction units, vacuums, floor coverings, and protective sheeting to keep dust and debris to an absolute minimum.

You can count on Wise Property Care to accurately diagnose any damp problems and provide you with long term solutions often backed by our 20 year guarantee.

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 can be a great opportunity to add living or storage space, and is a great way to add value to homes or businesses.

Below ground spaces, especially in Scotland, are susceptible to water ingress and damp, which means they will need professional waterproofing techniques to ensure usability and durability, while protecting any 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.
