Damp Surveys in East Lancashire
Damp has more than one cause, and the wrong fix wastes money. A DampCav survey finds out what's really going on before anyone quotes for work. We're a family-run team based in Rishton, covering Blackburn, Darwen, Accrington, Great Harwood and the surrounding towns.

Damp survey FAQs
How long does a survey take?
Most surveys take about an hour, depending on the size of the property and how many areas are affected.
Will I get a written report?
You'll get a clear written quote setting out what we found and the work needed.
My mortgage survey says there's damp. What should I do?
Book a specialist survey. Mortgage surveyors often flag high readings without finding the cause. We'll tell you what's really going on and what it would cost to fix.
