Why a PCA independent damp surveyor is the team to call when worried about damp, explained
While damp can damage the aesthetic effect of the inside of a room through unsightly stains on a wall, it can be a sign of serious underlying issues that threaten both a property and the health of those who live there. From peeling paint and crumbling plaster to rotting timber and structural decay, the damage caused by damp can be extensive and costly to repair. Even worse, health is at risk through mould growth, releasing spores into the air, which can trigger several conditions.
Anyone with vulnerable conditions can have peace of mind when a professional PCA independent damp surveyor gets to work. It is time for anyone who spots the potential signs of damp to make the call to such experts. The Property Care Association is a highly reputable body that we are proud to belong to, ensuring that surveys are carried out to the highest standards, delivering a trusted, impartial assessment to accurately identify the source of moisture and to provide a clear, evidence-based report.
If in any doubt whatsoever, PCA surveyors are the people to go to, as we provide unbiased assessments with no vested interest in selling remedial work. Their goal is to identify, and not to profit from repairs, a quality and service that can be all too lacking in many other industries in the modern world.

Being PCA-certified means that we meet the highest professional standards and adhere to a strict code of practice recognised throughout the property care industry.
