The COVID-19 pandemic has led to people all over the world making big adjustments to their daily lives. The same applies to businesses and local services, too. What happens if you have a problem in your home and you’re self-isolating? What if it’s an issue you need help with immediately, but you can’t risk anyone coming into your home? It’s time to start thinking a little outside the box. Have you thought about what you might need to do regarding damp surveys?
As experienced damp surveyors, we want to remain as flexible as possible for all our customers. While retaining our professional standards as always, we are announcing a new virtual damp proofing survey service. Therefore, you won’t ever have to worry about letting an expert in to take a look at your potential damp issues!
What is a Virtual Damp Survey?
LABS offers in-depth surveys to help address mould issues, condensation, damp and more. On the majority of occasions, we will advise that we need to see a condition up close to ensure we offer you the best diagnosis. However, in light of social distancing and the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown, we have made sure to adapt our damp surveys to help as many people as we can during this difficult time.
Instead of setting up a physical appointment for one of our team to visit your home, we can address your inspection via the magic of modern technology. Why not send us photos or videos of your damp condition? Using popular video conferencing services such as Zoom; we can also take a closer look at your potential damp issue in clear detail through video link. This means that we can actively diagnose and support your household concerns without you needing to risk letting anyone in.
Simply show us the condition or damp patch you are worrying about through email, conferencing and more. It may be a quick way for you to get peace of mind on a condition that isn’t necessarily anything to worry about. If it is likely to be part of a bigger problem, you can rest assured that we will address the problem for you and make recommendations as to remedying the situation.
However, please be aware that – of course – a virtual survey will have its limitations. We cannot, unfortunately, guarantee exactly what we will and won’t be able to diagnose from afar. Of course, should your problem or condition need immediate attention, we will recommend a visit takes place.
Why Might You Need Help From Virtual Damp Surveyors?
In the current climate, it’s important to avoid as much social contact as possible to help slow down the spread of COVID-19. However, there are still going to be a few household issues and concerns which you might need help with over time. For example, these might include condensation problems, or rising damp which could develop into something a little harder to contain.
Instead of sitting on these household problems, it makes sense to still reach out to your local experts. It’s tempting to think that many businesses are closing their doors as a result of the ongoing crisis. However, as essential service providers, LABS is pleased to be able to offer customers across our region the help and assistance they need in getting rid of nuisance damp conditions.
During times like these, it may be tempting to either leave damp issues alone, or to try and handle them yourself. However, this is rarely going to be beneficial. In fact, leaving these conditions to fester could result in you developing health conditions, or causing serious damage to your property.
Therefore, it makes sense to get in touch with a leading name in the local damp proofing and surveying trade. LABS is here to ensure you receive the expert advice and support you need to help ease back into a healthy way of life.
