We use equipment, such as hygrometers, moisture probes, moisture meters, infrared cameras, ultra-violet lights, particle counters, and micro-fiber cameras when evaluating/inspecting homes or buildings. We document our findings during the process.

The picture on the left is seeing the wall without an ultra-violet light. The picture on the right is seeing the wall using an ultra-violet light. The picture on the right is showing the hidden elements of mold damage.

This can also be used for smoke damage evaluation/inspections.
