Experienced water, flood or mold damage? It can be a serious problem when not combated accordingly.

Wet building materials usually start to swell, delaminate, blot, or begin to smell if left unattended. Once building substances are damaged by water they might never return to their original state.

With no clearly defined water drying procedure or verification by a mold inspector, construction substances may start to grow mold in no more than 48-72 hours.

How To Detect Moisture

During your examination, the process of discovering humidity starts by searching for visual signals of humidity condensation, water injury, or hidden humidity within the building.

You, or your mold inspector, may use a humidity metre (pin or pinless) to learn whether the construction materials are wet.

Water, humidity, moisture, as well as extreme temperature differences in a building may cause increased humidity from the substances and eventual water damage or mold development.

Our mold inspectors deploy thermal infrared cameras to discover hidden humidity behind the walls and ceilings in both residential and commercial buildings.

A thermal infrared camera detects temperature differences in substances and can find hidden mold. Our mold inspectors may utilize this device as well as humidity metres to confirm moisture from your building’s substances before water damage and mold growth.

48-72 hours is all it takes following the first discharge of water by a fresh, or potable source before mold starts to grow.

Clean water, known as a Category 1, ought to be extracted and cleaned as quickly as possible utilizing a wet vac and towels.

The existence of Category 2 water harm in a building requires additional cleaning and disinfection of the substances. Some porous materials that can’t be dried or cleaned properly ought to be discarded. This kind of water harm usually includes the existence of feces and bacteria that are extremely harmful to your safety and health. Without professional tools and experience, this can turn a bad situation into a terrible one.
