Moisture Detection and Mapping in Texas

Nationally, most home inspections with meter readings and a moisture map run about $150 to $400. Adding thermal imaging and a full written report typically puts it at $250 to $600.

No, and anyone who says otherwise is overselling it. The camera reads surface temperature, and wet areas often look cooler because evaporation cools them.

A pinless moisture meter reads through the surface using a capacitance reading, so it scans large areas fast without marks.

Only with your permission, and only where readings justify it. A borescope hole is about the size of a pen and usually goes in a spot that will be painted or hidden anyway.

You can, and an inexpensive meter will tell you wet from dry in a rough way. What it will not do is give you a calibrated comparison against dry reference material or interpret a false positive from foil backed insulation, metal or wiring.

Usually yes when it is part of a covered loss and the mapping supports the mitigation work plan.

We scan outward from the known wet area until readings match unaffected material, in every direction including up and down.
