Moisture Testing
Incorporating a moisture test with a FLIR camera into our property inspections offers unparalleled advantages. This advanced thermal imaging technology allows us to detect hidden moisture issues that are invisible to the naked eye, ensuring a thorough and accurate assessment of the property's condition. By identifying potential problem areas early, we help prevent costly repairs and protect the structural integrity of the property. The use of a FLIR camera not only enhances our inspection accuracy but also demonstrates our commitment to utilizing the best tools available to provide our clients with the highest level of service and peace of mind.

Why test for moisture?
Testing for moisture in a home during a pre-purchase inspection is essential to ensure structural integrity. Moisture can weaken components like wood and drywall, leading to significant damage and costly repairs over time. Identifying moisture issues early can prevent these problems and ensure the home remains safe and stable and free from damp conditions which can cause health issues.
