Santa Cruz Moisture Detection & Mapping
When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth will always occur, particularly if the moisture-retention problem remains undiscovered by the owner. There is no practical way to eliminate all molds and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control the growth of dangerous mold is to control the moisture. Our trained technicians use non-invasive infrared leak detection to accurately locate leaks, saving water, time and money.
Our Complete Infrared Moisture Detection Consists of:
- Detecting moisture, water leaks and their origin (in walls, flooring, roofing).
- Detecting moisture and water leaks due to the plumbing issues (from broken pipes, blockages).
- Detecting moisture that cannot be physically reached with moisture meters.
- Checking energy efficiency for heating and cooling loss (through windows, walls, insulation).
- Documenting results and providing tangible proof crucial for repair verification and insurance purposes.
