Moisture Mapping is a detailed visual inspection of a home by an experienced Moisture Mapping Technician who uses specialized moisture detection equipment to create moisture maps of your home. These maps can help identify previously unknown or hidden sources of moisture intrusion, which can lead to serious health hazards like mold.
Moisture tests can detect the presence of moisture, which is a necessary condition for mold growth. However, moisture tests cannot directly detect mold. Mold is a type of fungus that can grow on any organic material in the presence of moisture and oxygen.

If you suspect that you have a mold problem, it is important to have a mold test performed by a qualified professional. Mold testing can confirm the presence of mold, identify the type of mold, and determine the extent of the problem.
