AI Damp Survey Software for Working Surveyors.
Spend Less Time Writing Reports:
Writing damp and timber survey reports is a rigorous, precise task. Unclear diagnostic terminology or poor formatting can lead to client complaints and avoidable disputes. DampApp Pro™ includes optional AI-assisted wording inside a native mobile application, helping you prepare draft report text on-site.
How AI Professionalizes Your Survey Observations
When surveying in the field, you don't have time to compose beautifully structured paragraphs. You need to quickly note down meter readings, capture photos, and move to the next room. Historically, this meant spending your evenings at your desk, manually converting shorthand notes into RICS-standard reports.
With DampApp Pro™, you type or dictate your raw, unedited observations. The optional AI Polish module—tuned for damp-proofing terminology and referencing guidance such as BS 8102, BS 5250 and HHSRS hazard concepts—expands your shorthand into structured draft summaries that you review and edit before signing off.
Real-World Wording Translation
"black spots behind bed, plaster wet to touch, no ventilation, tenant has windows shut all day"
"Significant fungal germination consistent with Stachybotrys species was identified on the internal plasterboard finish directly behind the bedroom bed aperture. Substrate moisture mapping indicated localized saturation. The absence of mechanical extract ventilation (MEV), paired with minimal passive ventilation cycles (windows remaining sealed), has elevated Relative Humidity (RH) levels beyond the critical dew point threshold."
"chimney breast wet, high readings on chimney wall, likely water getting in from chimney top, flashing bad"
"Abnormally high moisture profiles were logged across the brickwork of the primary chimney breast. Visual analysis suggests active penetrating dampness originating from defective or compromised lead flashing at the roofline junction. The localized masonry shows evidence of hygroscopic salt contamination, requiring immediate external flashing remediation and the application of breathable internal render."
Fully Integrated Voice-to-Text Dictation Workflow
Modern smartphones feature useful speech-to-text dictation capabilities. DampApp Pro lets you speak naturally while walking through a property. Enter brief, fragmented sentences and the optional AI can organise observations, distinguish recommendations, and prepare professional draft paragraphs for your review.
This completely eliminates the need to carry voice recorders, type up dictation audio tapes, or pay external typing agencies. Your phone is the recorder, compiler, and publisher all in one.
How AI Enhances Compliance & Reduces Risk
For social housing providers and housing associations, Awaab's Law guidelines require extreme precision. Property surveys must explicitly document the severity of mould hazards and clearly delineate tenant habits from structural issues.
Precise Technical Diagnostics
The AI Polish engine can replace generic phrases such as 'mouldy' or 'wet walls' with more precise terminology. Every generated description remains editable and must be checked against the surveyor's observations.
Mitigating Professional Liability
Clear, detailed terminology can reduce ambiguity. AI-assisted descriptions can help structure locations, dimensions, and atmospheric calculations, while the surveyor remains responsible for accuracy and the final audit record.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit the report text that the AI generates?▾
Yes. AI Polish produces draft prose into an editable text area on your device. You add, delete or refine the wording, and you remain responsible for the accuracy and the final signed report.
Do the AI features need an internet connection on-site?▾
The core surveying database, photo mapping and psychrometric calculations run natively offline. The AI Polish step needs an internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular) to reach the model. Many surveyors capture notes offline on-site and run AI Polish once they are back in signal.
Is AI Polish available on the free tier?▾
Free users get a few trial AI Polish runs. The Pro subscription includes a daily allowance through us, plus the option to add your own Google Gemini or OpenAI/ChatGPT API key for unlimited use on your own account.
Which damp and mould standards does the wording reference?▾
AI Polish is tuned for damp-proofing terminology and references guidance such as BS 5250 (managing moisture in buildings), BS 8102 (protection against water ingress) and HHSRS hazard concepts. You should always check generated wording against your own observations and the standards that apply.
