ECT Damp Survey Checklist

by Mark Griffiths, from the Community

A comprehensive ECT damp survey checklist for surveyors to evaluate property moisture issues. It outlines terms and scope, then guides data capture on property type, age, insulation, and lifestyle factors that impact humidity. External checks cover DPC condition, cracks, roofing, gutters, drains, render, glazing, seals, ventilation, and ground levels. Internal checks assess penetrating damp, condensation and mould, rising damp, wall and floor joints, timber decay, rot, and insect activity. Loft inspections verify roof condition, ventilation, and joists. Survey tools include hygrometer, damp meter, infrared thermometer, and thermal imaging, with spaces to record findings. An intrusive external wall survey section collects borescope photos and culminates in detailed findings and recommendations.

Damp and Insulation Inspection Report
A comprehensive damp and insulation inspection template for property surveys. Capture client instructions, site conditions, and property details, then assess ventilation, heating, and lifestyle factors that affect moisture. Inspect external walls, DPC condition, roofing, gutters, drains, glazing, seals, and render. Record internal defects such as penetrating damp, condensation, rising damp, rot, and insect activity. Include loft access and ventilation checks, wall and floor joints, and timber conditions. Use hygrometers, damp meters, infrared thermometers, and thermal imaging. Add photos, perform intrusive external wall surveys with borescope images, and provide clear findings and recommendations.

Damp Survey Checklist
This damp survey checklist helps property and building inspectors identify and document moisture-related issues across residential and commercial properties. Covering external and internal inspections, it guides assessment of DPC condition, glazing, ventilation, roofs, gutters, drains, wall and floor joints, and potential sources of penetrating, rising, or condensation damp. It supports use of tools such as hygrometers, thermal imaging, and damp meters, and prompts photographic evidence, risk notes, and recommendations. Ideal for standardizing surveys and reporting clear, actionable findings.

Damp and Mould Inspection Checklist
This damp and mould inspection checklist helps surveyors and property professionals assess moisture problems across residential and small commercial buildings. It guides users through client instructions, property details, weather and orientation, and lifestyle factors that affect humidity. The checklist covers thorough external and internal inspections including DPC condition, render bridging, roof leaks, gutters and downpipes, glazing seals, ventilation, and high ground levels. Internally it reviews signs of penetrating and rising damp, condensation and mould, plaster bridging, floor membranes, rot, insect activity, loft access and condition, and ventilation. It also prompts the use of surveying tools such as hygrometers, infrared thermometers, damp meters, and thermal imaging, with space to record findings, photos, and recommended remedial actions.

Damp and Mould Survey Checklist
This Damp and Mould Survey template helps inspectors, housing officers, and landlords assess and document damp conditions across a property. It explains key causes including humidity, condensation, and rain penetration, then guides a structured survey: external conditions, building type and roof details, loft access and insulation, heating systems and controls, occupancy, and room-by-room analysis. Capture humidity, temperature, dew point, cold surface checks, ventilation performance, window and radiator status, and evidence of mould or penetrating damp. Record defects, likely causes, and prioritize remediation to protect residents and the building.
