What happens if the water damage and moisture are ignored?
It is crucial to address moisture and water damage as soon as possible because water can easily seep through walls, floors, and ceilings, causing significant damage. For example, water can penetrate carpeting, carpet padding, hardwood floors, and even grout lines in tiles. If water and moisture damage occur in the ceiling, it can be even more destructive and may cause the ceiling to collapse.
Apart from physical damage, water and moisture damage can also lead to more severe issues such as poor air quality, increased humidity, growth of mold and mildew, and unpleasant odors that can permeate walls, floors, and ceilings. These problems can pose serious health hazards, making it vital to address water and moisture damage promptly and professionally to ensure the safety and well-being of anyone present in the affected space. Taking timely action can help prevent further damage and minimize the risk of health hazards.
Once moisture is detected, our team takes precise measurements and documents our findings. We determine a drying goal by taking moisture content readings from known dry materials in an undamaged area or structure. These readings help us establish a standard for the amount of moisture present in the affected area.
If there are no dry materials in the structure, we use a comparable structure to determine a drying goal. Our team is highly skilled and trained to accurately measure and document moisture levels, ensuring that we can provide the most effective and efficient drying solutions to address the water damage. Our ultimate goal is to restore the affected area to a safe and healthy condition, minimizing the potential for further damage and ensuring your peace of mind. By setting a drying goal, we can track our progress towards restoring the affected area and ensuring that it is safe for use again.
What are the methods used in moisture detection?
At our restoration company, we pride ourselves on using state-of-the-art equipment to identify moisture intrusion and create an effective plan for mitigation. Without these tools, it would be challenging to evaluate the damage accurately and determine the best course of action.
Our team uses various equipment for moisture detection, including borescopes, hydro sensors, thermo-hygrometers, non-penetrating moisture meters, penetrating moisture meters, and thermal imaging devices.
By utilizing these advanced moisture detection tools, we can accurately evaluate the extent of damage caused by moisture intrusion and develop a comprehensive mitigation plan to address the issue quickly and efficiently.

Boroscope
Borescopes are cameras or videoscopes on a flexible or rigid tube that enable us to examine tight spaces or areas behind walls that are difficult to reach.

Hydro Moisture Sensor
Hydro sensors are penetrating meters used to determine the extent of moisture that has traveled from the source. They are not appropriate for use with drywall or similar materials, but they can accurately assess moisture beneath carpeting or padding.

Thermo Hygrometers
Thermo-hygrometers are used to measure temperature and relative humidity. We use them to determine if the affected space and surrounding environment can be effectively dried with tools like dehumidifiers.

Non-Penetrating Moisture Meters
Non-penetrating moisture meters use an electromagnetic signal to assess the moisture level of wood without causing damage, making them ideal for use
with wooden furniture and
expensive hardwood floors.

Penetrating Moisture Meters
Penetrating moisture meters are more accurate than non-penetrating meters. They determine the moisture content of wood by measuring the resistance encountered by an electrical current running between small pins inserted
into the wood. This method is more
precise as water conducts electricity
while wood does not.

Thermal Imaging Devices
Thermal imaging devices use thermal energy to generate a visible image of hidden moisture. This equipment is invaluable for identifying moisture that is not visible to the naked eye.
