Every year moisture intrusion into buildings causes billions of dollars in property damage. Since mold requires water to grow, it is important to prevent moisture problems in buildings. Moisture problems can have many causes, including uncontrolled humidity. Some moisture problems in buildings have been linked to changes in building construction practices during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Some of these changes have resulted in buildings that are tightly sealed, but may lack adequate ventilation, potentially leading to moisture buildup. Building materials, such as drywall, may not allow moisture to escape easily.
Moisture problems may include roof leaks, landscaping or gutters that direct water into or under the building, and un vented combustion appliances. Delayed maintenance or insufficient maintenance are also associated with moisture problems in schools and large buildings. Moisture problems in portable classrooms and other temporary structures have frequently been associated with mold problems.
The moisture intrusion, which is contributing to the mold and mildew growth, must be determined and eliminated if the problem is to be solved. Indoor Environmental Experts, Inc., has the necessary skills and personnel to identify and determine the cause of moisture intrusion into buildings.
Moisture Intrusion Inspections
Indoor Environmental Experts, Inc., uses advanced infrared thermal imaging technology equipment. Using thermal infrared cams allows our technicians to get a real time image of activity taking place under walls, below concrete foundations, in roofs and within any building structure without the need to cut holes or even remove ceiling tiles. Don't wait until a minor problem becomes a major repair expense. Contact Indoor Environmental Experts for an indoor inspection that could save thousands of dollars in future repairs or worse; help determine the source of toxins that could potentially cause serious health risks. |
