In Gainesville, Why is leak/moisture detection important?

In cases of water leaks or excessive moisture, identifying the source is crucial to preventing further damage to your property. At our company, we understand that any building can be susceptible to water penetration through various means such as leakage, flooding, or condensation.

Our technicians possess in-depth knowledge of building construction, building science, and water damage restoration techniques. We understand that in certain cases, it may not be possible or appropriate to access certain areas for inspection.



Leaving excess moisture unattended can lead to significant water damage, including the growth of mold and structural damage. That's why it's crucial to address these issues as soon as possible. Trust our team to identify the source of any leaks or moisture issues and provide effective solutions to prevent further damage.

Unattended moisture damage!

Moisture and water damage can wreak havoc on various parts of your property, including walls, carpeting, hardwood floors, and even grout lines in tiles. It's crucial to address these issues as soon as possible because the longer you wait, the more extensive the damage can become.

When water or moisture affects the ceiling, the situation becomes even more critical, as it can lead to the collapse of the ceiling itself.

Water and moisture damage can also create more serious problems such as poor air quality, a humid atmosphere, the growth of mold and mildew, and unpleasant odors that can penetrate walls, floors, and ceilings. These issues can create health hazards for those occupying the property, making it crucial to take prompt action.



Trust our team to address moisture and water damage quickly and effectively, minimizing the potential for further damage and ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all.

What happens once the moisture is found?

Once moisture is detected, we take careful measurements and establish a standard by comparing moisture content readings from undamaged, dry materials in the same area or structure. These readings serve as a reference point for determining a drying goal that we can work towards.

In cases where there are no dry materials in the structure to compare to, we rely on a comparable structure to establish a drying goal. By carefully determining these goals, we can work to restore your property to its pre-damage condition and minimize any potential for long-term damage.

What are the methods used in moisture detection?

Our team relies on specialized moisture detection equipment to accurately assess the extent of moisture intrusion and determine the best course of action for mitigation. Without these tools, it would be challenging to identify the source of the problem and address it effectively.

Here are some of the equipment we use for initial moisture detection:



• Borescopes: These optical inspection cameras or videoscopes are attached to a rigid, flexible tube and used to search for moisture intrusion by drilling small holes into walls.
• Hydro (moisture) Sensors: These penetrating meters help us determine how far moisture has traveled from the source, making them useful for checking beneath carpeting or padding.
• Thermo-hygrometers: We use these devices to measure temperature and relative humidity in affected spaces and surrounding environments. This information helps us determine whether we can effectively dry the area using tools like dehumidifiers.
• Non-penetrating Moisture Meters: These meters use an electromagnetic signal to measure a wood's moisture level without damaging it. They are ideal for use on expensive hardwood floors or furniture.
• Penetrating Moisture Meters: By measuring the resistance encountered by an electrical current running between two small pins inserted into the wood, these meters can accurately determine a wood's moisture content.
• Thermal Imaging Devices: We use these devices to analyze objects or scenes where moisture may be hidden by converting thermal energy into visible light.

Our team relies on a combination of these tools to accurately assess moisture intrusion and provide effective mitigation solutions.
