Moisture Detection and Mapping in the United States

We keep the field plan clear: Nationally, most home inspections with meter readings and a moisture map run about $150 to $400.

Before equipment is placed, we consider this: No, and anyone who says otherwise is overselling it. For a prepared response, we focus on this: The camera reads surface temperature, and wet areas commonly look cooler because evaporation cools them.

To keep the work focused, we start here: A pinless moisture meter reads through the surface using a capacitance reading, so it scans large areas fast without marks.

From the first assessment, we look at this: Only with your permission, and only where readings justify it.

As we organize the work, we account for this: You can, and an inexpensive meter will tell you wet from dry in a rough way.

To keep the work focused, we start here: Usually yes when it is part of a covered loss and the mapping supports the mitigation work plan.

Our response crew uses a practical rule: We scan outward from the known wet area until readings match unaffected material, in every direction including up and down.
