Anyone who owns a house or commercial property knows the costly damages water can create. Water at the foundation can cause extensive damage to your property creating mold, mildew and fungus. Water also attracts termites, which leads to widespread damage. That’s why moisture control is such an important step in maintaining your property and keeping pests at bay.
We know a leak under or near a structure can cause damage or attract other unwanted pests and organisms to a specific location, but the vast majority of the moisture conditions that we encounter come from a more general source, i.e. water that enters the structure via ground water percolation, improper grading or excessive condensation.
The inspector will look for indications of water entering the foundation. High water during a rainy season or a shallow layer of clay beneath your crawl space can cause moisture infiltration. 
The inspector will also look for condensation in the home. Findings of leaky or poorly insulated duct work in the crawl space can lead to condensation. Even if the duct work is not leaking into the soil underneath the house, it can be vaporizing into the crawl space. The hot, humid air collides with cooler air in the crawl space and can also cause condensation.
Our certified and educated inspectors are trained to identify moisture at first site and will use advanced technology such as a moisture meter or a FLIR Thermal Imaging gun to help see where hidden moisture may be hiding.
