When a major storm hits Florida, it can leave behind significant damage to homes and buildings. In order to ensure that your property is safe and secure, it's crucial to conduct a post-storm inspection. This inspection should include a roof inspection, infrared inspection, and moisture meter test to confirm the presence of the moisture. In this blog post, we'll discuss why each of these inspections is important and how HIS Home Inspection Services can help.
First, a roof inspection is essential after a storm. High winds and heavy rain can damage shingles, flashing, and other roofing materials. This damage can lead to leaks and other issues if not addressed promptly. During a roof inspection, a professional inspector will check for missing or damaged shingles, cracks in the flashing, and other signs of damage. This inspection can help you catch any issues before they become more serious problems.
Second, an infrared inspection can help detect hidden damage. This type of inspection uses thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature changes in walls, ceilings, and other areas of your home. This can help identify areas where water may have penetrated, even if there are no visible signs of damage. An infrared inspection can also detect areas where insulation may be missing or damaged, which can cause energy loss and higher utility bills.
Finally, a moisture meter test can help determine if there is any hidden moisture in your home. This test involves using a special tool to measure the moisture content of various materials in your home, such as drywall and wood. If there is too much moisture present, it can lead to mold growth and other issues. By identifying areas with high moisture levels, you can take steps to address the problem before it becomes more serious.
