Frequently Asked Questions

What is a water intrusion investigation?

A water intrusion investigation identifies the source, path, and extent of water infiltration into a building envelope using moisture testing, thermal imaging, and visual assessment by a licensed engineer.

Do you use infrared thermography?

Yes. Infrared thermography helps identify hidden moisture behind walls, roofs, and building envelope assemblies without invasive testing.

How long does an investigation take?

Most residential water intrusion investigations take two to four hours on-site, with sealed reports delivered within 5-7 business days.

Can your reports be used for insurance claims?

Yes. Our sealed engineering reports are prepared to meet insurer and legal documentation standards for water damage claims.

Do you identify mold risk during investigations?

Yes. We document moisture conditions conducive to mold growth, though mold testing itself is referred to certified mold assessors when needed.
