A damp and timber report is a survey that is carried out on your home to check for damp issues and any problems with the timber. The survey will ensure that you are able to get all the information that you need about the structure of your property or a property that you are considering purchasing. It will confirm or deny that the building structure is free from excessive moisture, wood-boring insects or destructive fungi that will lead to wood rot by attacking the timber and woodwork from within.
