Defect Diagnosis

Overview Solving the Problem

Finding a defect in your property can be stressful, whether it is damp, cracking, or water ingress. Covering up the issue often leads to higher costs because the real cause remains. At Atlas Surveying, we carry out detailed defect diagnosis to understand exactly why the problem has occurred, helping ensure the repair is long lasting and effective.

Common Defects We Investigate

We investigate a wide range of building issues for both residential and commercial properties, including damp and water ingress, structural cracking, timber defects, roofing failures, and poor workmanship.

Technology and Accreditation

We combine traditional surveying knowledge with modern inspection technology to assess your property accurately and safely. We carry out drone inspections of roofs and chimneys, helping avoid the cost of scaffolding during early surveys. As members of the British Damage Management Association, we also have recognised expertise in complex water damage and flood related issues. Thermal imaging is used to identify hidden damp, insulation problems, and heat loss.

Our Process From Diagnosis to Solution

We begin with a detailed site inspection using specialist tools. This is followed by a clear, easy to understand report explaining the cause and impact of the defect. We then recommend the required remedial works and can provide cost guidance if needed.
