Why Investigation Comes First

Too many property owners spend money treating symptoms rather than solving the actual problem.

Damp patches, mould growth, staining, musty smells, peeling finishes and roof leaks can all have several possible causes. Without proper investigation, money can easily be spent on treatments or repairs that fail to address the source of the problem.

At EX10, we believe in investigating the cause before recommending the solution. We carry out damp and moisture investigations, mould and condensation surveys, roof and chimney inspections, drone surveys and investigations into water ingress and hidden building defects.

recommending the solution. Whether the issue relates to damp, condensation, mould, roofing defects, ventilation, water ingress or hidden moisture, our surveys are designed to identify what is happening and why.

Our aim is to understand what is happening, why it is happening and what should be done next.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why do I need a damp survey?

Damp symptoms can have many different causes, including condensation, leaks, external defects, poor ventilation, bridging and genuine rising or penetrating damp. A proper investigation helps establish the cause before money is spent on unnecessary treatment.

Can you tell me if it is rising damp?

Yes. We assess the moisture pattern, construction of the property, external ground levels, salts, ventilation and other potential moisture sources. We do not diagnose rising damp from a single moisture-meter reading alone.

Do you investigate mould?

Yes. We investigate mould and condensation problems and look at factors including humidity, temperature, ventilation, cold surfaces, thermal bridging, leaks and moisture entering the building.

Can you inspect roof leaks?

Yes. We investigate roof and chimney defects, water ingress and internal staining. Where useful, we can also use our drone to closely inspect roofs, chimneys, leadwork, tiles, flat roofs and other areas that may be difficult to access.

Do you carry out drone roof and chimney surveys?

Do you carry out drone roof and chimney surveys?

Do you provide reports?
