## Before you hire a damp proofing / waterproofing
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Get an INDEPENDENT damp survey — not a free one from the firm that wants to sell you the treatment. A free survey has every incentive to diagnose expensive 'rising damp', when the problem is often condensation, a leak, or high ground level that needs no chemical injection.
- Insist they identify and fix the underlying CAUSE — a leak, blocked airbricks, poor ventilation, failed pointing — before agreeing to an injected damp-proof course, and ask them to explain why simpler fixes won't work.
- Get the diagnosis and an itemised quote in writing, and be wary of pressure to sign on the spot for a long 'guarantee' that is only worth anything while that firm is still trading.
- Look for a surveyor or contractor accredited by the Property Care Association (PCA) — the recognised UK body for damp and timber — and prefer an independent, CSRT-qualified surveyor for the diagnosis itself.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
