Why a Moisture Inspection After a Leak Is Critical for Utah Homeowners
Had a recent leak in your home? Just because the water is gone doesn’t mean the damage is. Moisture can seep deep into drywall, insulation, and flooring — and if left unchecked, it can lead to dangerous mold growth and structural issues.
That’s why getting a professional moisture inspection after any water leak or flooding event is one of the smartest steps Utah homeowners can take.
🧪 What Is a Moisture Inspection?
A moisture inspection uses specialized tools — like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters — to detect hidden moisture behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings.
At Pure Flow Water Damage & Restoration, we offer moisture inspections in Riverton and nearby areas after:
- Pipe bursts
- Appliance leaks
- Basement flooding
- Roof or attic leaks
- Storm water intrusion
🚩 Why Moisture Can Be a Hidden Threat
Even if your floors and walls feel dry, they might still be holding moisture deep inside porous materials. Left untreated, that moisture can cause:
- ✅ Mold growth within 24–48 hours
- ✅ Warped hardwood or bubbling drywall
- ✅ Structural wood rot
- ✅ Increased allergy and asthma symptoms
🧰 What Happens During an Inspection?
- Thermal imaging scan of walls, ceilings, and floors
- Non-invasive moisture readings using digital meters
- Identification of “dry” vs. “wet” zones (even without visible signs)
- Documentation for insurance purposes
We provide a full report with photos, readings, and recommendations — all within 24 hours.
📍 Why This Matters in Utah Homes
Homes in Riverton, Bluffdale, and South Jordan often have finished basements, crawlspaces, and aging plumbing — all of which make them more prone to hidden water damage. In winter, frozen pipes and ice dams add even more risk.
Insurance companies may deny mold claims if you fail to take proper steps after a leak. A moisture inspection helps you prove that you acted responsibly and sought professional documentation.
