FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is professional moisture detection necessary after water damage?
Professional moisture detection is crucial because water can seep into hidden areas not visible to the naked eye. Our advanced equipment can detect moisture in walls, under floors, and in other concealed spaces. This thorough detection helps prevent mold growth, structural damage, and ensures complete restoration. Without proper moisture detection, you risk ongoing issues long after the visible water is gone.
What types of technology does Restoration 1 use for moisture detection?
We use a range of advanced technologies for accurate moisture detection, including:
- Infrared cameras to identify temperature differences indicating hidden moisture
- Moisture meters to measure moisture content in various materials
- Hygrometers to measure relative humidity in the air
- Penetrating probes to check moisture levels within wall cavities and under flooring
- These tools allow us to create a comprehensive moisture map of your property, ensuring no wet areas are overlooked.
How long does the moisture detection and monitoring process typically take?
The initial moisture detection process usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the affected area and the extent of the water damage. However, monitoring is an ongoing process throughout the drying phase, which can last several days. We conduct regular checks to track the drying progress and adjust our equipment as needed, ensuring thorough and efficient drying.
Can moisture detection help with my insurance claim?
Yes, moisture detection can be very helpful for insurance claims. Our detailed moisture mapping and documentation provide concrete evidence of the extent of water damage, including in hidden areas. This comprehensive assessment can support your claim by demonstrating the full scope of necessary restoration work. We provide thorough reports that can be submitted to your insurance company.
If you detect moisture in walls or under floors, does that always mean demolition is necessary?
Not necessarily. While some cases may require the removal of materials like drywall or flooring to properly dry and restore the area, our advanced drying techniques can often address moisture without extensive demolition. We use specialized equipment like injection drying systems and drying mats that can remove moisture from within walls and under floors without always needing to remove these materials. Our goal is always to restore rather than replace when possible, saving you time and money.
