Rising Damp - DPC Not Effective	High damp meter readings were recorded to the ground floor walls, likely caused by the absence or failure of an effective damp-proof course. Further investigation by a specialist contractor who is a member of the Property Care Association (PCA) or similar is required to determine the extent of the dampness and the cost of remedial works	0	Edit Delete
Rising Damp - High Ground Level	High damp meter readings were recorded to the ground floor walls, which appear to have been caused by high external ground levels. Further investigation by a specialist contractor who is a member of the Property Care Association (PCA) or similar is required to determine the extent of the dampness and the cost of remedial works	1	Edit Delete
Rising Damp - Render Bridging	High damp meter readings were recorded to the ground floor walls, which appear to have been caused by external render bridging the damp-proof course. Further investigation by a specialist contractor who is a member of the Property Care Association (PCA) or similar is required to determine the extent of the dampness and the cost of remedial works	2	Edit Delete
Rising Damp - Salts	High damp meter readings were recorded to the ground floor walls, which appear to have been caused by salt-contaminated plaster. Further investigation by a specialist contractor who is a member of the Property Care Association (PCA) or similar is required to determine the extent of the dampness and the cost of remedial works	3	Edit Delete
Rising Damp - Failed DPC	High damp meter readings were recorded to the ground floor walls, which appear to have been caused by failure of the damp-proof course. Further investigation by a specialist contractor who is a member of the Property Care Association (PCA) or similar is required to determine the extent of the dampness and the cost of remedial works. There is also a risk of associated decay to adjacent timbers, which should be inspected and treated or repaired as necessary	4	Edit Delete
Penetrating Damp - Weathered Masonry	High damp meter readings were recorded, with evidence suggesting that damp is penetrating through the wall as a result of weathered masonry. Repairs and improvements are required to prevent further moisture ingress	5	Edit Delete
Penetrating Damp - Defective Render	High damp meter readings were recorded, with evidence suggesting that damp is penetrating through the wall as a result of defective render. Repairs and improvements are required to prevent further moisture ingress	6	Edit Delete
Penetrating Damp - Defective Rainwater Fittings	High damp meter readings were recorded, with evidence suggesting that damp is penetrating through the wall as a result of defective rainwater fittings. Repairs and improvements are required to prevent further moisture ingress	7	Edit Delete
Penetrating Damp - Inadequate Window Sills	High damp meter readings were recorded, with evidence suggesting that damp is penetrating through the wall as a result of inadequate window sills. Repairs and improvements are required to prevent further moisture ingress	8	Edit Delete
Condensation - Kitchen	High damp meter readings, along with mould growth, were noted in the kitchen. This is caused by condensation. The affected areas should be cleaned, and the finishes made good. Heating and ventilation should be improved to help reduce the likelihood of recurrence	9	Edit Delete
Condensation - Bathroom	High damp meter readings, along with mould growth, were noted in the bathroom. This is caused by condensation. The affected areas should be cleaned, and the finishes made good. Heating and ventilation should be improved to help reduce the likelihood of recurrence	10	Edit Delete
Woodworm	Wood-boring beetle activity was observed in the wall timbers. Confirm whether treatment has been carried out under guarantee; if not, a full inspection and treatment by a Property Care Association (PCA) member is recommended	11	Edit Delete
Possible Structural Movement - Ground Floor	Cracking was noted to the ground floor, which may be indicative of structural movement. Further investigation is required by a Chartered Structural Engineer to determine the cause and necessary remedial works	12	Edit Delete
Possible Structural Movement - First Floor	Cracking was noted to the first floor, which may be indicative of structural movement. Further investigation is required by a Chartered Structural Engineer to determine the cause and necessary remedial works	13	Edit Delete
Walls Removed - Poorly Supported - Cracking	Internal alterations have been carried out to remove walls. The support provided may be inadequate, as evidenced by cracking. Further investigation is required by a Chartered Structural Engineer to assess adequacy and recommend any necessary remedial works	14	Edit Delete
Walls Removed - Poorly Supported - Distortion	Internal alterations have been carried out to remove walls. The support provided may be inadequate, as evidenced by distortion. Further investigation is required by a Chartered Structural Engineer to assess adequacy and recommend any necessary remedial works	15	Edit Delete
Plaster - Loose	Sections of plaster are loose and require replastering to restore the finish	16	Edit Delete
Plaster - Cracked	Sections of plaster are cracked and require replastering to restore the finish	17	Edit Delete
Artex	Textured finishes may contain asbestos and can release fibres if disturbed. A qualified specialist should complete a risk assessment before any work is undertaken	18	Edit Delete
Minor Mould - Kitchen	Minor mould growth was noted to the kitchen walls, caused by condensation. The affected areas should be cleaned and the finishes made good as necessary. Heating and ventilation should be improved to help prevent recurrence	19	Edit Delete
Minor Mould - Bathroom	Minor mould growth was noted to the bathroom walls, caused by condensation. The affected areas should be cleaned and the finishes made good as necessary. Heating and ventilation should be improved to help prevent recurrence	20	Edit Delete
Minor Mould - Bedroom	Minor mould growth was noted to the bedroom walls, caused by condensation. The affected areas should be cleaned and the finishes made good as necessary. Heating and ventilation should be improved to help prevent recurrence	21	Edit Delete
Minor Mould - General	Minor mould growth was noted to the walls, caused by condensation. The affected areas should be cleaned and the finishes made good as necessary. Heating and ventilation should be improved to help prevent recurrence	22	Edit Delete
Localised Damp	Localised damp readings were noted to the ground floor walls; repairs are needed to resolve the issue	23	Edit Delete
Minor Plaster Defects - Cracked	Cracking was noted to sections of plaster; repairs are required	24	Edit Delete
Minor Plaster - Loose	Some plaster is loose and needs to be repaired	25	Edit Delete
Minor Plaster - Water Stained	Sections of plaster are water stained and require repair and redecoration once the source of moisture has been resolved	26	Edit Delete
