Water Intrusion is the introduction of any moisture into the indoor environment or structural cavity of a building that is not a normal function of that structure. Water Intrusion can be one of the single most destructive factors affecting the integrity of a home or building, sometimes not being detected until the major damage has occurred. Water Intrusion may be caused by multiple conditions that may include plumbing leaks inside wall cavities or sub-areas, exterior stucco cracks, roof deficiencies, window installation, flashing and sealants failures or improper applications, areas of poor building envelope design and clogged gutters and downspouts.

Any water intrusion no matter how small can cause mold to appear in as little as 24 hours. And the problem is that many leaks will not manifest in the interior of the home, but rather mold will grow and thrive inside the wall cavity.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Immediately identify the water intrusion source(s) by:

• Infrared Thermal Imaging scan to locate areas of water intrusion not visually accessible with the naked eye
• Non-destructive surface by surface examination with a portable moisture-meter to determine the extent of water intrusion and affected building materials.
