Water Leaks You Can’t See: How Moisture Testing Prevents Long-Term Damage

Not all water damage is obvious. A slow leak behind your walls or under your floors can go undetected for months — quietly weakening structures, promoting mold growth, and damaging your home’s air quality.

Moisture problems often start small: a tiny pipe crack, a poorly sealed window, or condensation from poor ventilation. But over time, they lead to warped flooring, stained drywall, or worse — mold infestations and rot that can cost thousands to repair.

That’s where professional moisture testing comes in.

At Prime Environmental Testing, we use advanced tools like digital moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate hidden water intrusion. These tools help us detect moisture buildup inside walls, ceilings, crawlspaces, and under flooring — without tearing anything apart.

Even if you don’t see visible signs of damage, moisture testing is especially important if:

• You’ve recently had a leak or flood
• You notice a musty odor
• You’re buying or selling a property
• You’ve had HVAC or plumbing work done

By identifying moisture early, you can take action before bigger problems develop. We’ll provide you with a detailed report of our findings, along with recommendations for drying, repairs, or further inspection if needed.
