What happens during leak and moisture detection?
During the initial visit, our restoration specialist guides a careful, noninvasive inspection using infrared imaging, moisture meters, and thermal scanning to locate hidden sources. We assess walls, ceilings, and floors for elevated moisture levels, explain what we find in plain language, and outline a practical plan to dry the space and prevent further damage.
How long does the evaluation take in Charleston?
Most evaluations take about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the area and access to affected spaces. After the inspection, our restoration specialist compiles a clear report with moisture readings, identified sources, and recommended next steps. We can usually share findings the same day and schedule the next steps promptly.
Will detection require heavy work or demolition?
Not typically. The majority of leak and moisture detection is noninvasive. Our restoration specialist uses handheld tools and above-ceiling access where needed to pinpoint moisture sources with minimal disruption. If walls must be opened, we discuss timing, safety, and costs before any work begins.
Can you detect moisture behind finished walls and under floors?
Yes. Using infrared imaging and moisture meters, our restoration specialist can identify damp zones behind finishes and under flooring without tearing everything out. When hidden moisture is confirmed, we present a plan to isolate the area, dry it thoroughly, and prevent future problems, with clear next steps.
Is moisture detection covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage varies by policy, but our team helps you with documentation and scopes of work to support a claim. We provide detailed moisture readings, photos, and a transparent plan from the first visit. Our goal is to make your Charleston claim straightforward and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
