Leak & Moisture Detection

Hidden moisture is the root cause of most mold problems. We locate it precisely—without tearing into walls—so you can fix the source, not just the symptoms.

About

Why Moisture Detection Comes First

Mold needs moisture to grow, and moisture hides. We use non-destructive instruments to map water through walls, floors, and ceilings—and thermal cameras to see temperature anomalies that indicate active leaks or condensation—giving you a precise location before any repair work begins.

Moisture detection helps you:

  • Pinpoint the exact source of a leak before demolition
  • Map moisture spread behind walls and under flooring
  • Identify condensation-prone areas before mold appears
  • Confirm repairs were effective after water damage is addressed
Why Moisture Detection Comes First

Methodology

How We Detect Moisture

Non-destructive tools that locate water without cutting into your property.

We measure the moisture content of walls, floors, and ceilings using both pin-based and non-invasive pinless meters—mapping the full extent of saturation without surface damage.

Best for:

Drywall, wood framing, and subfloor assessment
Mapping moisture spread after a water event
Establishing baseline readings for monitoring

Our thermal cameras detect temperature differentials across surfaces. Water-loaded materials hold heat differently than dry materials, making leaks and saturated zones visible behind finished walls.

Best for:

Finding active leaks behind drywall without cutting
Locating plumbing or roof leaks not yet surface-visible
Identifying condensation zones that feed mold

Every finding is documented with photos, moisture readings, and thermal images. You receive a clear report so contractors, insurers, or property managers can act immediately.

Report includes:

Moisture readings mapped by room and surface
Thermal images with annotated anomaly locations
Probable source identification and next steps

Checklist

When Do You Need Moisture Detection?

Moisture detection is the right first step if:

  • You smell mold or dampness but can't find the source
  • You've had a plumbing leak, roof leak, or flood
  • You're buying a property and want to verify no hidden moisture
  • You had water damage and want to confirm the area is fully dry
  • Recurring mold keeps coming back after surface cleaning

Moisture detection is often the fastest and most cost-effective way to scope a mold problem before committing to testing or remediation.

Our Detection Methods

Two complementary tools that together give a complete picture of moisture conditions in any building.

1Thermal Imaging

Infrared cameras reveal temperature anomalies that indicate hidden leaks, condensation zones, and moisture paths behind finished surfaces.

2Moisture Detection

Pin and pinless meters precisely measure moisture content in walls, floors, and ceilings—mapping the full extent of saturation without destructive investigation.

Mold inspection Pomona FAQ

Call For An Inspection
Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available across our Pomona service area, with 24/7 emergency response for active leaks, recent water damage, or urgent real estate timelines. Standard scheduling runs 1 to 3 business days depending on availability.
Our certified mold inspectors assess bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, attics, crawl spaces, HVAC components, and any area showing signs of past or current water issues. Thermal imaging and moisture meters identify hidden moisture behind walls and under floors.
In Pomona's pre-war and mid-century residential properties, the three most consistent mold pathways we identify are crawl space ground moisture accumulation, aging plumbing failures behind walls, and deteriorated exterior building envelope materials that allow water intrusion during rain events. Crawl spaces in the city's older raised-foundation homes frequently lack functional vapor barriers — either because they were never installed or because original materials have degraded over decades — which allows ground moisture from the San Gabriel Valley's soil to migrate continuously into the foundation space and adjacent structural framing. Original galvanized plumbing in these properties has in many cases exceeded its 50 to 70-year service life and develops pinhole leaks inside wall cavities that sustain mold-supporting moisture without producing visible water damage at surfaces. The combination of these factors in a single structure creates layered moisture risk that requires systematic, tool-assisted inspection to fully characterize.
Pricing varies based on the size of the property, the scope of testing required, and whether any lab work is included. Most residential mold inspections in Pomona fall within the standard industry range of $300 to $600, with a clear quote provided before any work begins.
