Moisture Intrusion Testing
Protecting Your Property from the Ground Up
Moisture intrusion is one of the most common and costly threats to both residential and commercial properties. It compromises structural integrity, fosters mold growth, damages finishes, and devalues property. At MountainWest Inspectors, our Moisture Intrusion Testing service is designed to proactively identify and address moisture-related issues before they escalate into major problems.
Why Moisture Intrusion Testing is Critical
Water intrusion can occur through a variety of pathways—roof leaks, poorly sealed windows and doors, plumbing failures, foundation cracks, or improper grading. Left undetected, moisture can lead to:
- Mold and mildew development, which pose serious health risks
- Decay of wood framing, drywall, insulation, and flooring
- Corrosion of metal structural components
- Reduced energy efficiency due to wet or degraded insulation
- Structural instability over time
- Decreased property value and difficult resale
Many of these issues remain hidden until significant damage has occurred. Our testing is designed to identify moisture sources at their earliest stages, minimizing repair costs and disruption.
How Does Moisture Intrusion Testing Bring Value to Our Customers?
Investing in moisture intrusion testing provides both short-term and long-term value:
