This qualification gives surveyors a sound knowledge of the construction of buildings and materials used, and the causes and effects of dampness. This includes being able to recognise moisture ingress in the form of penetrating damp, capillary moisture caused by rising damp, hygroscopic moisture, and atmospheric moisture and their associated problems.
They are experts in identifying different types of woodworm infestations, fungal decay and other issues relating to timber.
CSRT (Certificated Surveyor in Remedial Treatments)
Certificated Surveyor in Remedial Treatments, or CSRT is the original qualification for damp and timber surveyors, but since 2018 has now been updated to CSTDB. The original CSRT continues to be a recognised professional qualification in the property industry nationwide.
