Moisture intrusion inspections are essential for identifying and addressing unwanted water entry into buildings, which can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and health issues. These inspections involve a comprehensive assessment to detect moisture sources and affected areas, ensuring the integrity and safety of the property.

Key Elements of a Moisture Intrusion Inspection:

Our inspectors conduct a thorough visual assessment of the property’s exterior and interior to identify signs of moisture intrusion, such as water stains, mold, or deteriorated materials.
