Damp & Mould Survey Apps Compared for 2026
In short
DampApp Pro is built for damp and timber professionals. It turns shorthand field notes into structured reports on-site, runs natively offline, and lets AI assist with the write-up — one option among several covered below.
With compliance duties such as Awaab's Law in force, surveyors and housing teams increasingly use specialised software to track structural dampness, condensation and timber decay. Here is a comparison of several survey apps used across the industry in 2026, and what each tends to suit.
DampApp Pro
Best suited to: independent damp surveyors, Awaab's Law evidence and AI-assisted reporting.
DampApp Pro focuses on structural damp. Alongside general inspection features it includes psychrometric calculators (IAQ), OpenWeather and RainViewer integration to document penetrating damp, and AI that turns rough site notes into RICS-aligned report text you review before export.
- Offline capture, psychrometrics and on-device PDF generation
- Timestamped photo evidence (EXIF-derived where available)
- Published GOV.UK EPC data available in the report
Pocket Survey (PsCloud)
Best suited to: teams wanting an established, offline-capable surveying app.
A long-standing player with a damp and mould module. It captures data and generates PDF reports on-device, offline, and publishes its subscription pricing — but without DampApp Pro's AI-assisted report wording or automated psychrometrics.
SurveySphere
Best suited to: general housing association inventories.
SurveySphere uses AI mainly for image recognition, helping spot mould during general property inspections. It is a broad-spectrum tool, with less of the psychrometric and timber-decay depth specialist damp surveyors look for.
InventoryBase
Best suited to: letting agents handling high-volume move-ins.
Primarily an inventory app, InventoryBase includes fitness-for-habitation templates and is widely used for general property management, letting clerks log basic damp and mould alongside wear and tear.
Peach Inventory / Inspecto
Best suited to: general inventory and condition reporting, deposit-dispute evidence.
Both now offer AI-assisted reporting — turning photos, notes or video walkthroughs into report text automatically — and Inspecto tracks compliance deadlines including Awaab's Law. Neither publicly advertises psychrometric or dew-point diagnostics, so they suit general inventory work rather than technical damp-and-mould investigation.
Frequently asked questions
What should a damp and mould survey app do in 2026?▾
With duties under Awaab's Law and the Renters' Rights Act 2025, useful features include offline capture, dated and timestamped photographic evidence, psychrometric calculations for condensation, and structured PDF reporting. Match the tool to the type of survey you carry out.
What is DampApp Pro best suited to?▾
DampApp Pro is focused on structural damp and mould diagnostics: psychrometric calculators, OpenWeather and RainViewer context, custom defect libraries and AI-assisted report wording you review before export. It is a per-account tool that captures offline and syncs to the user's own devices.
Does DampApp Pro work fully offline?▾
Capture, psychrometric calculations and PDF generation run natively offline on the device. Online features such as published EPC and weather lookups need a connection, then your data syncs and backs up to the cloud once you are back in range.
How is DampApp Pro priced against other tools?▾
DampApp Pro is £74.99 per month or £749.99 per year (GBP), with a free tier and regional pricing shown in the App Store and Google Play. Compare each tool's pricing and feature fit against your own survey volume and reporting needs.
