Damp & Mould Surveys – Finding the cause
Damp and mould problems can have a number of causes, including condensation, water ingress, leaks and other sources of excess moisture. Identifying the cause is an important first step towards dealing with the problem effectively.
AMS Thermography provides independent damp and mould surveys to investigate moisture problems and help identify the likely source. We use practical building knowledge alongside specialist moisture testing and thermal imaging where appropriate.
Common Signs of Damp & Moisture Problems

Moisture problems can present themselves in different ways. Some of the common signs that may indicate further investigation is needed include:
- Mould growth or recurring black mould
- Damp patches or staining on walls and ceilings
- Persistent condensation
- Musty or damp smells
- Peeling or damaged paint and wallpaper
- Areas that feel unusually cold or damp
- Moisture problems that keep returning after treatment
How We Investigate Damp & Moisture Problems
Every property and moisture problem is different, so our investigations focus on the individual circumstances of the building. We look for evidence that can help identify where the moisture is coming from and what may be contributing to the problem.
- Visual Inspection – We assess the affected areas and look for signs that may help identify the source of the moisture.
- Moisture Testing – Specialist equipment is used to investigate moisture levels and help build a clearer picture of the problem.
- Thermal Imaging – Where appropriate, thermal imaging can help identify temperature differences and areas that may require closer investigation.
Moisture testing carried out as part of a professional damp and mould investigation.
Ventilation testing can help establish whether inadequate extraction or airflow may be contributing to condensation and mould growth.

Clear Findings & Professional Report
Following the survey, we explain our findings in straightforward language and provide a detailed professional report outlining what has been identified, supported by relevant photographs, thermal images and moisture readings, together with clear, practical recommendations for the appropriate next steps.
Our aim is to give you a clearer understanding of the likely cause of the damp or moisture problem so that any necessary action can be properly targeted.
Damp & Mould Survey Pricing
Professional damp and mould surveys from £199.
The cost will depend on the size of the property, location and complexity of the investigation. Your survey can include visual inspection, moisture testing, thermal imaging where appropriate, and a professional report with clear findings and recommendations.
