Ground penetrating radar survey and the RICS joint damp methodology

By: admin | Posted on: November 1, 2021

Ground penetrating radar can really help identify, or even eliminate the true cause of rising damp issues. This short video will show you the drainage and culverts that it identified, as part of the GPR survey.

If you wanted to bring your traditional or historic building back into moisture balance using traditional breathable materials, then perhaps gpr should be used to make sure a long term solution is proposed.

    Do you cover Hampshire for damp surveys? A recent damp survey informed me of repairs using breathable materials. Thinking about it none of this was carried out by the surveyor, and the neighbours did think we all shared some form of drainage. Could this be a possibility?

    Hello Ross, the building surveyor who did our survey sent us this. Our property is about 350 years old and very damp, and plaster is coming away. I would prefer to pay you for an independent survey to find out what really is the issue. I will ring you Friday as I’m off.

    I think this is something we need to find out why our footings and walls are soaked. What is the cost of this service please?
