Tampa's Moisture Inspection Experts

Moisture is difficult to detect especially behind the walls. Normal home inspections don’t test for moisture, yet it can be one of the most important items to check. Most homes experience a moisture problem after water damage, but there’s many other reasons that your home could have high moisture levels. Moisture problems can damage building materials over time and support mold growth spelling disaster for any homeowner.

Our innovative technology, experience and in-depth knowledge of structural drying provides our customers with a level of expertise that is unsurpassed. We can locate hidden moisture faster and more accurately with our advanced technology.

Advanced Moisture Testing Equipment Using Smart Sensors

We use a new innovative technology that utilizes a series of small penetrating electronic moisture sensors that detects moisture levels deep inside your wall assembly, including inside the wood framing.

Traditional moisture meters used by most other water damage companies can only detect wet areas on the surface of the wall, and other meters like infrared thermal moisture meters really only detect temperature changes. Neither accurately identify moisture that is occurring inside the wall cavity. Intrusive (penetrating meters) testing is the only way to accurately assess moisture intrusion levels.

Eliminating excess moisture in a home is the key to preventing mold growth and other moisture related issues. Learn More about DAMP.
