Hidden water damage
Water is a powerful force. Any doubt of this fact can be erased by a simple visit to the Grand Canyon. And while your home is in no danger of becoming one of the Seven Wonders of the World, water can wreak havoc on a much smaller scale.

Water damage can come from several sources: floods, burst pipes, leaky roofs, seepage, etc. Many types are obvious, as is the damage caused by them. But even if you can't see the damage right away, a slow flow of water can often be worse than obvious leaks. Left untreated, these leaks can cause:

• Pipe corrosion
• Structural damage
• Foundation damage
• Mold

Large leaks are obvious. Small leaks can go undetected until the damage is extensive. Small leaks can easily be detected with an infrared camera. As water evaporates, there is a cooling affect, which is why perspiration cools the skin. The infrared camera can see the area of lower temperature even when the naked eye cannot see any signs of moisture.

Repairing hidden water damage can be an even greater challenge. Depending upon the source of the damage, it may or may not be covered by homeowner's insurance. In the case of mold, getting rid of the problem may be a monumental undertaking.

How can you protect yourself from this menace? A professional inspection can help. The use of moisture meters and infrared thermography, coupled with years of experience, enable us to detect water damaged that would otherwise be hidden. Call (760) 343-3933 to schedule your inspection today.
