Professional Damp Surveys & Diagnostics
A damp survey Porto buyers request before closing should answer one question: what is causing the moisture, and what will it cost to fix? We spend 90–150 minutes on site, not 20 minutes with a single-prong meter and a quote for injection regardless of diagnosis.
What is included
- Full property walk-through (interior + accessible exterior)
- Electrical resistance moisture profiles at 100 mm vertical intervals
- Salt contamination assessment (efflorescence sampling where needed)
- Thermal imaging for cold bridges and hidden leaks
- Written report within 5 business days (English)
- Prioritised remediation scope with EUR cost bands
