The Secure Awaab's Law Reporting Tool for Social Housing.
What is Awaab's Law Compliance? Awaab's Law mandates that social landlords must inspect damp/mould within 7 days, produce a written report within 3 days, and initiate repairs on critical health hazards within 24 hours. DampApp Pro™ is Awaab's Law reporting software designed to automate timestamped compliance logs and generate RICS-standard PDF inspection reports directly on site.
Compliance Timelines:
Under Awaab's Law, UK landlords, social housing associations, and local authorities face strict, legally-binding timescales to inspect, document, and remedy damp and mould hazards. Failing to comply can result in severe financial penalties, litigation, and critical regulatory intervention. DampApp Pro™ is a UK Awaab's Law reporting tool designed specifically to help asset managers document compliance and tenant safety.
Why standard Property Management Software Fails Awaab's Law Audits
Standard housing management databases and generic inspection checklists are not designed to capture the scientific variables required to defend against a damp and mould liability claim. They frequently fail to:
- Verify exact inspection timelines: Standard email trails and editable word files do not establish unalterable chronological records.
- Document internal air quality: Failing to correlate wall moisture measurements with atmospheric psychrometric calculations (relative humidity, ambient temperature, dew points) renders the diagnosis incomplete.
- Provide visual evidence quickly: Inspectors need a fast, objective way to record visual evidence and moisture details without hours of typing.
DampApp Pro digitizes the entire inspection, generating detailed PDF compliance reports directly from the property in minutes.
DampApp Pro Compliance Framework
Secure Timeline Logs
The platform organizes chronological logs on-device. When an inspector completes a survey, the observations and photos are compiled into a timestamped, professional PDF record.
Rapid Hazard Logging
Our pre-configured checklists enable inspectors to quickly note mould, condensation, and structural hazards on site, speeding up communication with remediation teams.
Psychrometric Evidence Logs
The app calculates absolute dew point variations from room-by-room environmental data, providing immediate scientific proof to identify whether condensation issues are linked to building ventilation system failure.
PDF Audits for Tenant Hand-Off
Export white-labelled compliance reports instantly and deliver copy files straight to tenants or contractors before leaving site, documenting immediate, proactive care.
Designed for Asset Managers & Social Housing Teams
When managing hundreds or thousands of municipal assets, standardizing inspections across multiple in-house surveyors and external contractors is extremely difficult.
DampApp Pro generates clean, highly professional, standardized PDF inspection reports. If an inspector finds condensation or a structural failure, the software compiles a consistent, clear, and easy-to-read document for asset managers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the precise timelines mandated under Awaab's Law?
Social housing landlords must investigate reported damp and mould hazards within 14 calendar days of a report. If a hazard poses a significant risk to health, the landlord must issue an action report and begin remediation within 7 calendar days of the investigation report. Repairs must be executed within reasonable timelines.
How does the app protect landlords from false tenant damp claims?
By logging complete psychrometric profiles (relative humidity, wall temperature, dew points) and moisture readings, the app scientifically determines the root pathology. It documents whether dampness is a structural failure (e.g. rising damp, leaking flashing) or a lifestyle ventilation failure (interstitial condensation due to unventilated clothes drying or turned-off extractors), creating a clear, structured scientific audit trail.
Does this app support integration with council database APIs?
Yes. Our enterprise tier supports customized JSON data exports and API integrations, enabling local authorities to automatically sync survey observations, PDF reports, and timestamped photo links back to central housing stock software.
Can we customize the branding on the generated PDF reports?
Yes. Upgrading to our Pro tier allows you to insert your organization's custom logos, corporate headers, inspector credentials, and custom terms to ensure every PDF report looks fully white-labeled.
