Initial Consultation and Assessment

When you reach out to us regarding moisture issues, we start with an initial consultation. Our team will discuss your concerns and any visible signs of moisture, such as damp walls or musty odors.

This conversation helps us prepare for our on-site assessment, ensuring we address your specific needs effectively.

Detailed Property Inspection

Upon arrival, our experts conduct a thorough inspection of your property. We examine areas prone to moisture, such as basements, attics, and crawl spaces, checking for visible signs of water damage and potential sources of moisture.

Using specialized tools, such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, we can detect hidden moisture issues that may not be immediately apparent.

Identifying Moisture Sources

Understanding the source of moisture is crucial for effective control. Common sources include:

• Leaky Roofs: Damage from storms or age can allow water to infiltrate your home.
• Poor Drainage: Improper drainage around your foundation can lead to water pooling and seepage.
• High Humidity: Excess humidity can come from cooking, bathing, or inadequate ventilation.
• Plumbing Leaks: Hidden leaks in pipes can lead to significant moisture buildup over time.

Based on our assessment, we create a tailored moisture control plan designed to address the specific needs of your property. This plan outlines the strategies we will implement to effectively manage moisture levels and prevent future issues. We’ll explain each step of the plan, ensuring you understand how we’ll address your moisture concerns.
