Sub floor ventilation survey

By: admin | Posted on: January 7, 2020

Often it can be difficult to see if there is any sub floor timber decay or woodworm when floorboards can’t be lifted, because of floor coverings. This is when we need some help with our super bright drain cameras. Whilst it’s not as good as good as getting a bradawl and giving the timber a good poke, it’s the next best thing. Alls we need to do is remove the air brick or air vent externally, and guide the camera through the wall. We can then take pictures and record videos. This is often used when a Chartered surveyor has picked up issues with the suspended timber floor on a pre purchase survey, and has asked for further recommendations regarding the issue. We can help in this case most of the time. If you need a suspended timber floor survey, give us a shout

    What is the cost to camera survey beneath a suspended timber floor please? We need this carried out as our surveyor thinks there could be an issue. Our previous property had a huge dry rot problem that we didn’t know about, so we will not be making that mistake again.

      Hi Simon,

      It all depends on the amount of floors, and access to get the cameras in. Please give the office a ring and we can discuss. It would be great if you get get a floor plan emailed over with the floors in question 🙂
