DampApp Pro

DampApp Pro replaces the evening spent writing up damp, mould and timber surveys with a structured on-site workflow. Every outside area and room gets an area checklist of likely defects and checks, so you tick what you find, mark an area complete or explain why it could not be inspected, and move on. Moisture readings can be recorded as a grid by height and position on each wall, shaded as dry, at risk or wet as you type and printed as a table. Repair costs come from around 90 standard damp, timber, condensation and ventilation items or your own, with VAT applied and any items requiring further advice kept out of the total.

The reporting layer is where the time saving comes from. Smart Build drafts wording from the findings, readings and observations you select, which you then check line by line before it goes into the report, while a Talk Through a Room option lets you speak observations and have AI sort them into the right boxes. Photos can be captioned, numbered and marked up with circles, boxes, arrows or labels without altering the original evidence. On LiDAR-equipped iPhones and iPads, Apple RoomPlan scans a room into a floor plan ready for damp markers, and follow-up visits carry over rooms, walls and last visit's readings.

The app is built for use without connectivity: capture, calculations and PDF generation all happen on the device, so a basement or rural property does not hold the job up. It supports 12 regions from the UK and Ireland to the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the Gulf, India and South Africa, adjusting spelling, report currency and listed standards accordingly, and can check a property against public registers such as listed buildings, conservation areas and flood zones.
