Common Causes
of Moisture Issues
Identifying the most common sources of unintended water and moisture problems can help you better understand why moisture mapping needs to be done, and why it should be done on a routine basis. In the Dallas-Fort Worth Texas area, these sources can vary and include various weather conditions and systems that may have issues or problems that go unnoticed.
- Plumbing issues: These can be anything from a slow leak from a water supply line, drain line, or even a fixture hidden inside a wall, ceiling, or floor.
- HVAC system: In a DFW property the air conditioning system can also be a source of unintended moisture. If a condensate drain line is clogged, or the ductwork is not sealed correctly the water will end up in the attic, wall cavity, or ceiling.
- Foundation, wall, or slab leaks: In some cases, a crack in the foundation or underground plumbing has allowed water to get behind or under the structure. This moisture can work its way up or into walls, or floors.
- Improper site drainage and grading: This can allow water to puddle against the foundation when it rains. This in turn can put a great deal of hydrostatic pressure on the foundation over time that then allows water into the lower level of a structure such as a basement or crawlspace.
- Excess humidity indoors: A combination of inadequate ventilation along with higher humidity levels. Can result in condensation on windows, pipes, or even outside walls which can over time lead to damage and mold growth in situations where there is little to no air flow.
Our Moisture Mapping Process
Our moisture mapping process provides a detailed understanding of water intrusion and distribution throughout your property. By using precise detection methods and systematic analysis, we identify both visible and hidden sources of moisture. This comprehensive approach supports efficient remediation, reduces long-term damage, and ensures the safety and integrity of the structure.
Site Survey
We start with an initial walk through of your property so we can get a good feel for its structure and layout to target where water may be entering. We always review the building plans and discuss any questions with the owner. This way we ensure we have a comprehensive plan in place for our moisture inspection.
Precision Detection
We utilize industry leading moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect moisture not only on surfaces, but behind walls, under floors and in ceilings. These specialized tools help us not only find visible problem areas, but also the hidden.
Data Gathering
Our technicians will then perform an inspection throughout the property, taking comprehensive readings from every risk area and making note of the results. Our multi-point survey approach ensures that no potential spot will be missed during the inspection process.
Moisture Mapping
We then use this data to create a detailed moisture map that visually represents the problem areas throughout your property. This map clearly shows where water is located and how far it has spread.
Recommended Next Steps
Finally, we sit down and review the map with you and outline our recommended next steps to correct the issue. We know that as a property owner or manager, you are looking for a clear and concise path forward, so we make our recommendations specific, actionable and remediation-ready.
