From the author of the bestselling book 'Diagnosing Damp' this is a unique set of six, one-hour training DVDs dealing with the real investigation of building failure. It is a huge resource of groundbreaking information covering many aspects of building construction, failure and remediation relating to dampness and flooding.

Among the vast array of information, these DVDs:

  • Cover modern & period properties - listed buildings.
  • Provide whole building examination - from the roof to the drains.
  • Help avoid common mistakes and misconceptions.
  • Provide best practice in diagnosis and remediation.
  • Offer advice on specifying top quality contractual work.
  • Show how to beat the cowboys!
  • Examine related legal issues and the giving of specialist evidence.

There are many differing views and an extraordinary amount of misinformation and bad practice surrounding building failure and remediation. This series of training DVDs looks to break through all this and provide a vital training resource containing tips, techniques and eye-opening information for Surveyors, specialist legal practitioners and any other property professionals with a vested interest in the construction, failure and remediation of buildings.
