Damp, Mould and Condensation (DMC) Surveys
Proactive Solutions for Healthier Homes and Legal Compliance
Why Choose Our DMC Surveys?
Damp, mould, and condensation are more than just nuisances—they can lead to tenant complaints, housing conditions claims, and costly legal disputes. At Redfearn Experts, our comprehensive
Damp, Mould, and Condensation (DMC) Surveys
are designed to help landlords, housing associations, and councils stay ahead of these issues.
We don’t just identify the symptoms; we uncover the root causes and provide actionable recommendations to protect your properties, meet your legal obligations, and improve tenant satisfaction.
Our DMC Surveys Include:
Full Property Appraisal
We conduct a detailed inspection of the entire property, identifying factors that could impact health, safety, and tenant well-being.
Occupant Consultation
Understanding tenant habits is key to addressing damp and mould. We engage with occupants to gather insights on heating, ventilation, and practices like drying clothes indoors.
Advanced Anemometer Testing
We test mechanical extractor fans with calibrated anemometers to ensure they meet the extraction rates required by Building Regulations, safeguarding against inadequate ventilation.
Roof Space and Insulation Inspection
Our surveys include a thorough inspection of roof spaces, checking for poor insulation, inadequate ventilation, and structural defects that may contribute to dampness and mould.
Window and Vent Assessment
We inspect windows and trickle vents to ensure proper airflow, preventing the build-up of moisture that leads to damp and condensation.
Data Logger Installation (if required)
For ongoing monitoring, we install data loggers to track temperature and humidity levels over time, providing valuable insights into the property’s heating and ventilation efficiency.
Comprehensive Reporting You Can Trust
Our detailed reports provide everything you need to take action:
