Gresham Restoration Services rely on this technology for accurate assessments.
Why is this inspection critical? Water often seeps behind walls, under floors, or above ceilings without immediate signs. Left undetected, it causes rot, mold growth, and weakened structures. Our thermal imaging catches these issues early, saving you thousands in repairs.
Our process begins with a thorough walkthrough using FLIR thermal cameras. These devices measure surface temperature differences, revealing moisture pockets. We combine this with pinless moisture meters and hygrometers to confirm readings. Every inspection follows IICRC standards for accuracy.
Psychrometric monitoring plays a key role. We measure humidity and temperature to understand evaporation rates. This data helps us predict drying times and prevents secondary damage. Our team uses LGR dehumidifiers and air movers if moisture is found.
Common sources of hidden moisture include pipe leaks, roof leaks, condensation, and poor ventilation. We inspect attic spaces, crawlspaces, and around windows. Even small leaks from faulty appliances can cause big problems over time.
After detection, we provide a detailed report with thermal images and moisture maps. This documentation helps you understand the extent of damage and supports insurance claims. We also recommend a course of action, including drying or repairs.
Preventative tips: Check for musty odors, peeling paint, or warped flooring. Test your sump pump regularly. Ensure proper grading around your foundation. Schedule an annual thermal inspection, especially after heavy rain.
We serve all Gresham neighborhoods with 60-minute response. Our certified technicians use top-tier equipment like the FLIR E8 and Tramex moisture meters. Trust us to find what others miss and restore your peace of mind.
