WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD DO
What to do, and what not to do
✓ What to do
- Record when the symptom appeared and any known leak history.
- Avoid unsafe ceiling areas and wet electrical fixtures.
- Share photographs and affected-room information with the assessor.
- Ask what tools, access, written findings, and limitations are included.
- Arrange source repair or further investigation based on findings.
✕ What not to do
- Do not paint over stains before the cause is found.
- Do not assume the problem is old just because the stain looks dry.
- Do not poke or cut into a sagging ceiling.
- Do not ignore musty odors or recurring dampness.
- Do not rely on a visual look alone for hidden moisture.
- Do not start repairs before moisture findings are recorded.
If there is immediate danger, contact emergency services. Do not enter a hazardous area to complete these steps.
HOW WE WORK
Our water damage inspection process
- 1
Discuss the history
Review incident history and inspect accessible affected spaces.
- 2
Inspect accessible areas
Use appropriate moisture checks for the materials involved.
- 3
Take moisture readings
Compare findings with surrounding conditions where useful.
- 4
Report findings and next steps
Explain limitations, suggested next steps, and any further access needed.
Equipment and methods
What affects the outcome
Accessible surfaces, construction, incident history, and instrument interpretation influence findings. Concealed spaces can require permission and additional inspection.
Moisture meters can support assessment. Thermal imaging, if available, shows temperature patterns and does not by itself prove moisture or identify a leak.
