Damp & Mould Monitoring

Solution
Service icon

Compliance with Awaab’s Law requires social housing landlords to adhere to strict time limits to address dangerous hazards such as dampness and mould in their properties. This forms part of the Social Housing (Regulation) Act.

Appointing Polygon to design and implement a programme of damp and mould reporting, cause identification and remediation will enable social housing landlords to comply with their legal obligations without fuss.

Benefits of the Polygon Damp and Mould Programme

Our Damp and Mould programme will:

  • Address your critical properties in order of priority and risk to tenants.
  • Deliver a comprehensive report on the extent, cause and plan to address the issues.
  • Where appropriate, recommend remediation and reinstatement work.
  • Undertake remediation and reinstatement works if required.

We make recommendations for installing technology that will monitor water leaks, track humidity, temperature, air movement/velocity and the excess presence of CO2 within high-risk properties, giving you direct alerts where environmental changes, or water leaks, occur that could precipitate further damp and mould, so that you can take action.

How We Monitor

By monitoring multiple data points within each property, Polygon provides early warning alerts when conditions approach levels that encourage mould growth.
