Moisture Detection and Mapping in the United States

Before we get to work, nationally, most home inspections with meter readings and a moisture map run about $150 to $400.

To straighten this out, no, and anyone who says otherwise is overselling it. Before we get to work, the camera reads surface temperature, and wet areas frequently look cooler since evaporation cools them.

To straighten this out, a pinless moisture meter reads through the surface using a capacitance reading, so it scans large areas fast without marks.

In plain words, only with your permission, and only where readings justify it. In plain words, a borescope hole is about the size of a pen and as a rule goes in a spot that will be painted or hidden anyway.

Before we get to work, you can, and an inexpensive meter will tell you wet from dry in a rough way. Before we get to work, what it will not do is give you a calibrated comparison against dry reference material or interpret a false positive from foil backed insulation, metal or wiring.

Before we get to work, as a rule yes when it is part of a covered loss and the mapping supports the mitigation work plan.

Once we are on the job site, we scan outward from the known wet area until readings match unaffected material, in every direction including up and down.
