Hurricane/Flood Water Intrusion Leaking Pipes HVAC or other type water damage and Moisture intrusion

The problem faced by most home and property owners is that moisture behind walls, over ceilings, and under floors is often impossible to detect until the problem is excessive and visible to the naked eye. Since the investigation and removal of infestations of not yet visible mold in structures is often difficult, technology is now being used to do what once was impossible. Locate and pinpoint hidden water intrusion and leaks with non-destructive thermal technology. Immediate documentation of water damaged structures, plumbing and building envelope damaged structures, plumbing and building envelope damaged structures, plumbing and building envelope.

Water leakage, post -flood and energy use inefficiency. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there is no practical way to eliminate mold spores in an indoor environment. The best way to control mold growth is to control moisture. Mold can begin growth in as little as 24 hours. Roof leaks and water pipe leaks are common sources of water accumulation that may cause mold growth. A mold problem is a moisture problem, so when thermal technology is used to find moisture, and it actually finds moisture, it becomes possible to prevent mold and rot from taking hold or to remove the mold that actually grows.

The thermal image (left) clearly shows a leaking bedroom ceiling (visible, right). The leak was assumed by the owner to originate in an upstairs marble-paneled bathroom in the $3 million home. The estimated cost to rip out and replace the marble to access the plumbing was estimated at $80,000! Further IR investigation absolved the bathroom and traced the source of the leak to a clogged weep hole under the threshold of a door leading to an upstairs porch.

Is Mold Really As Dangerous as it Sounds?
The answer is YES in certain circumstances it can be very harmful. You should take this threat seriously.

If I can’t see any mold does that mean I don’t have a mold problem?
Did you know that the National Association of Industrial Hygienist estimate that more than half of building microbial problems are not visible. You may suspect hidden mold if a building smells moldy, but you cannot see the source, or if you know there has been water damage and residents are reporting health problems. Mold may be hidden in places such as the back side of dry wall, wallpaper, or paneling, the top side of ceiling tiles, the underside of carpets and pads, etc. Other possible locations of hidden mold include areas inside walls around pipes (with leaking or condensing pipes), the surface of walls behind furniture (where condensation forms), inside ductwork, and HVAC units, in roof materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation).
