Moisture intrusion can
be a daunting problem that has far reaching consequences. Moisture
infiltrating your homes exterior shell, sometimes called the moisture
barrier, can rot building materials, reduce the efficiency of mechanical
systems in your home such as the air conditioning, or allow bio-contaminants
to grow inside your home causing indoor air quality issues. Finding
the source of the moisture can be easier said than done more times
than not. Possible sources could be as simple as a plumbing leak
behind a wall or could be a complex matter such as warm air infiltrating
the air barrier and condensing on the exterior of some drywall that
the supply grill of the ac is pointed directly at. Over time the
moisture permits mold to grow on the interior of the house.
Infrared scanning makes the process of finding a leak, diagnosing
the cause, and developing a protocol for the corrections a much
easier, less time consuming and less intrusive task than it ever
has been before. With infrared technology we can "see"
into building cavities, detect hidden infiltrations and even go
so far as to follow the moisture trail from the point of visibility
to the point of origin. All of this accomplished with out opening
a wall.
So instead of ripping out a wall, tearing down a ceiling, or doing
any unnecessary work, give us a call. We have an experienced staff
that will be ready and able to assist you with what ever your problem
may be.
