About thermal imaging and moisture detection
Water moves along the path of least resistance, which often means it ends up somewhere other than where it started. Thermal imaging cameras reveal temperature differences that can indicate wet materials, and moisture meters confirm what the camera suggests.
This lets us map the extent of water damage without tearing open walls on guesswork.

Thermal Imaging and Moisture Detection for Hamilton properties
Plaster-and-lath walls in many older Hamilton homes hide moisture differently than modern drywall, and careful detection helps avoid needless damage to original finishes. See our service areas.
