Water Leak Location And Moisture Detection

Moisture Detection

Most disasters that hit your home or business have a single common element: water. It may sound strange, but even fires lead to water damage. Fires can affect plumbing and pipes, causing hidden leaks behind walls and under floors, not to mention the gallons of water sprayed in order to put the fire out.

Many times, water damage is obvious — like when you find yourself standing in two feet of standing water in your living room. But if it’s hidden, it’s more difficult to detect unless you see obvious water stains or can feel dampness.

We Find & Fix Water Leaks Fast

If you suspect you have hidden water damage, call Steamaster Restoration LLC for our moisture detection, drying, and dehumidification services. Our expert technicians will use a water meter and thermal imaging to locate leaks behind walls and under floors that can’t be seen.

While it may be obvious that you have a moisture problem, locating the origin of the leak can be difficult. This is why we invest in cutting edge technology and trained technicians so that we can find out the precise location of the leak and how far the water damage has spread before tearing anything up to make repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to your queries

Can moisture testing be done in the rain?
No, we cannot perform exterior moisture testing in the rain. Our equipment will get wet, making an accurate moisture report impossible.
Will moisture probe testing leave the home scarred up and ugly?
No. Moisture testing involves drilling 3/16” holes and then patching the holes with caulk of a matching color. We bring along over 30 shades of caulk in order to find a good match. Once we’re done, the moisture testing holes are typically only visible to someone with a trained eye, or someone who is looking for the holes up close.
Will moisture probe testing cause damage to the house?
No. After testing thousands of stucco homes for over 20 years, we have never had a single case where water damage occurred as a result of moisture probe testing. Probe testing is the most reliable and least intrusive method available for testing stucco homes.
Will moisture probe testing compromise the integrity of the moisture barrier?
Moisture testing will puncture the moisture barrier, however, by injecting caulking all the way inside the hole, it will also be able to seal the penetration.
Can moisture testing be done right after a recent rain?
Yes, moisture testing can be done right after a recent rainfall. We’re probe testing the interior wall sheathing, which should always be dry.
