Moisture intrusion can take many form: roof leaks, leaks around windows and doors, plumbing leaks at sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and leaks at the foundation. A moisture intrusion inspection includes: using a thermal imaging camera to view ceilings beneath the attic or roof, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and utility rooms, outside walls around windows and doors, foundation walls and floors. Measurement of the relative humidity and temperature to find the dew point and identify possible condensation problems. A moisture intrusion inspection can't turn up leaks that are not active and won't predict leakage that may occur in the future.Moisture intrusion inspection is a great add on for any home inspection or mold screening and when combined makes for an extremely thorough inspection.Carbon Monoxide TestingWe use professional grade carbon monoxide detection equipment to identify unsafe levels of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is known as the "Silent Killer" because it is an invisible, odorless gas that kills or sickens many people every year in the US.
