A list for every area
Defects and checks for roofs, chimneys, rainwater goods, walls, drainage, lofts, bathrooms, kitchens and more.
Area Checklists
Check every area. Tick off every defect.
DampApp Pro gives every outside area and room a list of the possible defects and the checks to carry out. The surveyor ticks what they find, rates how bad it is, marks the area complete, and moves on to the next one. The report records what was looked at, not only what was found, and lists every defect in a Schedule of Defects.
The checklist goes round the property with you
Add the standard outside areas and rooms in one go, untick any the property does not have, and the first one opens. Roofs, chimneys, gutters, walls, bathrooms, kitchens and lofts each get their own list, grouped by part of the building, with a search box for the long ones. Tick the defects you find and the checks you do, give each defect a severity and a note, add anything that is not listed, then mark the area complete or record why you could not get to it. Next takes you straight to the following area or room, and after the last one on to the next section of the survey.
Severity and notes
Rate each defect minor, moderate, severe or urgent, and note where and how much, by voice.
Schedule of Defects
Every defect on the survey in one table, worst first, and as a spreadsheet.
Your own items
Add defects and checks to any list, for you or for your whole team.

Defects found with their severity, checks done and what was checked for, before your observations.
Frequently asked questions
What is on the checklists?
Possible defects and checks to carry out for each kind of area: roofs, chimneys, gutters and downpipes, windows and doors, the damp-proof course, drainage, ground levels and paths, walls and each elevation outside, and the loft, basement or cellar, bathroom, kitchen, conservatory, garage and other rooms inside. Each area gets the list that fits its name, and the surveyor can switch it.
Can we add our own items?
Yes. Add defects and checks to any list, or to every outside area or every room, in Settings. A surveyor can also add one on the day and keep it for future surveys. Teams using DampApp Pro for Business can add them for every device from the portal.
Can we make it mandatory?
Yes. Turn on Required on every survey and the report cannot be shared, emailed or printed until every area is marked complete or says why it could not be inspected. The Next button waits for each area too. You can require it on every area, only rooms or only outside areas, and choose what each area needs first, such as photos, moisture readings or a severity on every defect. Business admins can set all of this for every device from the portal or an MDM profile.
What if an area cannot be inspected?
Tap Couldn’t inspect and give the reason, such as no safe access to the rear roof slope. Smart Build helps word it, and the report prints the reason in place of the checklist.
Can we rate how bad each defect is?
Yes. Give each defect found a severity, minor, moderate, severe or urgent, and a short note on where it is and how much, by voice or with Smart Build and AI Polish. You can require a severity on every defect before an area is marked complete.
What does the report show?
Each area prints its checklist before your observations: the defects found with their severity and note, the checks done and not done, and what was checked for and not found. After the room findings, a Schedule of Defects lists every defect on the survey in one table, worst first, with a count of each severity. An area where the checklist was not used prints as before.
Can we get the defects into a spreadsheet?
Yes. The Schedule of Defects on the report screen saves as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, with the location, the part of the building, the defect, its severity and the note.
Is it included in the free app?
Yes. Area checklists are free, and on for every surveyor unless you turn them off in Settings.
