Precision Moisture Mapping in Calgary, AB

Detect Hidden Water Intrusion Before Costly Damage Occurs

Visible water is only half the battle. Often, the most destructive moisture is what stays trapped behind your drywall, under your flooring, or inside your insulation. Calgary Water Damage Restoration provides expert moisture mapping services throughout Calgary, Alberta, using advanced, non-invasive technology to pinpoint hidden leaks and moisture pockets. By identifying these issues early, we help you prevent toxic mold growth and structural decay.

🔍 What is Professional Moisture Mapping?

Moisture mapping is a scientific, non-destructive diagnostic process. Instead of tearing into walls to find a leak, our technicians use high-resolution infrared thermal imaging and specialized moisture sensors to "see" through building materials. This allows us to create a comprehensive digital map of the moisture levels in your property, providing the data needed for targeted repairs or insurance documentation.

💧 Our Specialized Moisture Detection Services

We provide a full suite of diagnostic tools to protect your Calgary property:

• Infrared Thermal Imaging: Using state-of-the-art thermal cameras to identify temperature anomalies that indicate moisture behind surfaces.
• Non-Destructive Material Testing: Measuring moisture content in wood, drywall, and concrete without causing any damage to your home.
• Whole-Home Moisture Surveys: Comprehensive inspections of attics, basements, and crawl spaces where water often hides.
• Digital Documentation & Reporting: Providing easy-to-read reports featuring thermal photos and moisture percentage readings.
• Post-Restoration Verification: Using moisture mapping to prove that a property is 100% dry after a flood or leak repair.
• Leak Source Identification: Tracing the path of water from its entry point to where it has pooled or spread.

🧭 The Calgary Water Damage Restoration Mapping Process

We follow a disciplined 7-step workflow to ensure total accuracy:

1. Client Consultation: We discuss any history of leaks, odors, or staining to identify high-risk zones.
2. Diagnostic Calibration: Setting up our sensors and thermal cameras based on current indoor environmental conditions.
3. Thermal Scan: A complete infrared walkthrough to locate "cool spots" where evaporation or moisture is occurring.
4. Point-of-Interest Testing: Verifying thermal findings with physical moisture meters to confirm water presence.
5. Data Analysis: Compiling all readings into a clear moisture map of your property.
6. Results Review: Walking you through the findings and explaining the severity of any detected moisture.
7. Actionable Recommendations: Providing a clear plan for drying, remediation, or further monitoring.

🏡 Why Calgary Properties Require Moisture Mapping

• Condensation in Attics: Caused by poor ventilation and ice damming.
• Foundation Seepage: Identifying water entering through hairline cracks in the basement.
• Slow Plumbing Leaks: Finding pinhole leaks in pipes before they cause a ceiling collapse.
• Window and Door Seal Failures: Common after extreme Alberta temperature fluctuations.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can you find a leak without cutting holes in my walls?

‍Yes. Our thermal imaging and moisture meters allow us to detect water through building materials non-invasively.

Is moisture mapping the same as a home inspection?

‍No. While home inspections are general, moisture mapping is a specialized technical survey focused exclusively on water intrusion and humidity levels.

When is the best time to perform moisture mapping?

‍We recommend mapping after a heavy storm, following a pipe repair, or if you notice a "musty" smell in a specific room.

How long does a moisture survey take?

‍Most residential surveys can be completed within 1 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the home.

Will moisture mapping find mold?

‍While it doesn't "see" mold directly, it finds the wet conditions where mold grows. If we find moisture, mold is often present or imminent.

Is thermal imaging accurate?

‍Thermal imaging is highly accurate at finding temperature changes. We always verify these changes with moisture meters to ensure the data is 100% reliable.

Do I get a copy of the moisture report?

‍Absolutely. We provide a digital report that includes thermal images and moisture readings for your personal records or insurance needs.

Can moisture mapping help with a real estate transaction?

‍Yes. It provides "peace of mind" for buyers and sellers by verifying that the property is dry and free of hidden water damage.
