A Colemanator Alternative: Integrated IAQ on Your Device
In short
DampApp Pro is built for damp and timber professionals. It turns shorthand field notes into a structured report you review and edit, with psychrometrics and photos in the same offline workflow — so you can finish the write-up on site rather than back at the desk.
Many independent damp surveyors establish Internal Air Quality (IAQ) and atmospheric dew points using a standalone hardware calculator or a separate app such as The Colemanator. DampApp Pro takes a different approach, integrating psychrometric analysis directly into your primary surveying workflow.

Before downloading the app, see how the dashboard maps CO₂, VOCs, humidity and temperature into HHSRS-aligned compliance metrics.

Using a separate calculator app means transcribing psychrometric data by hand into your final report. DampApp Pro keeps the readings, the photos and the wording in one place, so the figures carry straight through to the PDF.
1. On-device psychrometric calculations
Enter dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity, and DampApp Pro calculates specific humidity (g/kg), vapour pressure (kPa) and dew point temperature in real time on your device, aligned with BS 5250 — without leaving the app.
2. IAQ monitoring & HHSRS context
Record CO₂ and VOC readings alongside your survey to help flag where inadequate ventilation may push a dwelling toward an HHSRS Category 1 or 2 damp-and-mould hazard for the surveyor's assessment.
3. IAQ metrics in the report
Your IAQ readings are formatted into clear tables in the final PDF, helping to illustrate condensation risk to landlords and tenants in a single document.
4. Awaab's Law triage
Atmospheric moisture readings, recorded alongside EXIF-timestamped photographs of mould growth, build a clear, structured diagnostic profile that supports a dated record under Awaab's Law.
Frequently asked questions
Is DampApp Pro a good alternative to The Colemanator for on-site IAQ and dew point?▾
If you want psychrometrics inside the same workflow as your photos, notes and report, DampApp Pro may suit you. You enter dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity and it calculates dew point, vapour pressure and specific humidity on-device (aligned with BS 5250), then carries those figures through to the PDF report — so you don't transcribe readings between a separate calculator and your write-up. Compare the calculation methods and outputs you rely on before switching.
Does DampApp Pro work offline like a standalone calculator?▾
Yes. Capture is offline-first and the PDF is generated on-device, so you can record psychrometric readings, photos and observations without mobile reception. Optional Pro cloud sync can sync the on-device data across your own signed-in devices when you are back online.
How does DampApp Pro help with HHSRS and Awaab's Law triage?▾
It records temperature and relative humidity to assess condensation risk and uses an EXIF-derived capture time when available, otherwise attachment time. Current Awaab's Law rules apply to English social housing; the planned private-sector extension remains a Phase 3 measure with its start date TBC.
What does DampApp Pro cost compared with a one-off hardware tool?▾
There is a free tier with a few trial AI Polish runs, and a paid subscription. Pricing is published in the app (regional pricing applies in the stores). On Pro you get a daily AI allowance through us, and you can optionally add your own Google Gemini or OpenAI key. You review and edit any AI wording before it appears in the report.
Can I evaluate DampApp Pro before committing?▾
Yes. You can download it free on the App Store or Google Play and run trial surveys on site, then export a PDF, before deciding whether it fits your workflow.
