Water Damage
Water damage inspection.
Most of what an inspection finds is water, or something water did. This is the focused version: moisture meters and thermal imaging to find where it is getting in and how far it has travelled.

Why it hides
The stain is rarely where the leak is.
Water runs along framing, down the back of sheathing and across the top of a ceiling before it shows itself. By the time there is a mark on the plaster, the wet part of the building is usually somewhere else entirely — and often somewhere nobody has looked in years.
Meters read moisture content behind a finished surface. Thermal imaging shows the temperature difference that evaporating water creates. Between them you can map the wet area without opening the wall.
What you get
Three things this buys you.
Two to three hours on site for a typical property, and the report within 48 hours. If the utilities are off we bring propane and a generator and power the building up rather than reporting it as unverified.
Measured, not guessed
Meter readings give an extent a contractor can quote against.
Non-invasive
We map the wet area without opening up finished walls and ceilings.
Cause and effect
The report separates the damage from the thing still causing it.
Where we draw the line
We inspect. We do not repair.
Our code of ethics forbids our inspectors from performing repairs, or from estimating repair costs, on a property they have inspected. An inspector who can profit from the problems he finds has a reason to find them.
You get a plain account of what is wrong and how serious it is. A licensed contractor prices and fixes it, and we will come back and re-inspect the work at a minimal fee.
