What a damp survey should tell you

A survey finds where the moisture is coming from before any work is priced: moisture readings, the pattern of staining and a written report that separates condensation, penetrating damp, plumbing leaks and — only where the evidence supports it — rising damp. That last one matters in Portsmouth: genuine rising damp is far rarer than it is diagnosed, and treating a wall that has condensation wastes the money and leaves the problem.

Look for a CSRT (Certified Surveyor in Remedial Treatment) or Property Care Association membership, and prefer a surveyor who isn’t also quoting for the treatment. An independent survey typically costs £200–£400.

What kind of damp problems are common in Portsmouth?
Portsmouth is the most densely populated city in the UK outside London, and its rented housing stock reflects that — tightly packed Victorian terraces with little outdoor space. Limited cross-ventilation and indoor drying in such dense housing are recurring contributors to condensation mould, on top of the solid-wall structural damp typical of the age of stock. The council received nearly 2,000 damp and mould enquiries in 2024/25 and found around 70% were condensation-related rather than structural.
Where can Portsmouth tenants report damp and mould to the council?
Tenants and landlords in Portsmouth can report unresolved damp and mould directly to the council through its damp and mould page.Source: Portsmouth council damp and mould reporting page ↗
