Water Damage Assessment
An assessment establishes what is actually wet, how far the water travelled and which materials are affected. That baseline determines whether drying in place is realistic or removal is required.
Common causes
- A recent water event with unclear extent
- Suspected hidden moisture after a repair
- Pre-purchase or pre-renovation concerns
Warning signs
- Stains of unknown age
- Ongoing odour after cleanup
- Uncertainty about the affected boundary
