Damp in Coventry homes
Coventry's housing is shaped by its history. The city was heavily bombed in the war and extensively rebuilt, so it has an unusual mix of stock, and the damp problems differ from one part of the city to the next.
Streets of Victorian and Edwardian red brick terraces survived in Earlsdon, Chapelfields, Stoke, Hillfields and Radford. In that older housing the common issues are rising damp from a failed or bridged DPC and penetrating damp through the solid walls. Across the post war and system built estates and interwar motor industry semis in Canley, Tile Hill, Cheylesmore and Wyken, the picture is different, with cold bridging and condensation and mould the usual culprits.
With two universities, Coventry also has a very large student rental and HMO sector, again where condensation tends to dominate. Because the cause varies so much across the city, we establish it with a professional survey before recommending anything.

Signs of Damp in Coventry Homes
Whether you are in an older terrace, a post war house or a rental, these are the signs worth a professional look:
Important: treating rising damp as condensation, or the other way around, is one of the most common and costly mistakes made by non specialists. A professional survey is essential before any treatment is recommended.
How We Work, Survey to Completion
Professional damp survey
A qualified specialist surveys your property with a calibrated moisture meter. Where rising damp is suspected we take plaster samples for salt analysis to confirm it, separating rising damp from condensation or penetrating damp.
Written report and diagnosis
You receive a written report with what was found, the diagnosis and the recommended treatment. If the problem is less serious than another company quoted, we will tell you that too.
Fixed price in your report
A fixed price is included in your report. No day rates and no hidden extras, so you know the full cost before deciding. The survey fee is deducted from the works if you proceed.
Treatment and installation
Our trained technicians carry out all treatment to current British Standards, BS 6576 for chemical DPC injection and BS 8102 for any below ground waterproofing.
Written guarantee
Every installation comes with a written 10 year guarantee, transferable on property sale and accepted by solicitors and mortgage lenders.
What Our Customers Say
Genuine reviews from Advanced Damp customers.
"I had two other damp surveys on my home and they were only interested in concluding that it was rising damp so that they could charge me a lot to inject into my walls. Matt on the other hand has proper experience and techniques with thermal imaging, and he understood what the issues really were. He gave holistic advice on how to really solve the problem, and at much less cost."
"Michael was an incredible support during a very stressful period. He provided a thorough, fair, and honest assessment, and his use of modern testing and technology ensured everything was measured accurately. Thanks to him, we now have a clear and reasonable remediation plan."
"I scheduled a pre-purchase damp survey with Advanced Damp on the advice of a Level 3 building survey. The quality of the survey, performed by Lionel, was excellent and the report was very detailed with photos throughout. The customer service was also very attentive."
