Inspection and Testing
Moisture mapping, thermal imaging and source identification, with laboratory sampling recommended where it changes the decision rather than by default. You get a written report with findings, readings, photographs and a recommended scope.
Remediation
Containment, HEPA air scrubbing, removal of affected porous material, treatment of salvageable material, and structural drying until readings return to normal for the building. A written scope before work starts, and verification afterwards.
Basement and Crawlspace Work
The majority of what we do in this county. Below-grade spaces combine cool surfaces, groundwater and finished assemblies that trap moisture — and they need the water addressed, not just the growth.
Moisture Source Correction
Grading, downspout routing, window wells, vapour barriers, sealing and ventilation. This is the part that determines whether the remediation holds, and it is included in the scope rather than sold separately afterwards.
Which One Do You Need?
If you can see growth and you already know where the water came from, you are looking at remediation and the inspection may be redundant. If you can smell it but cannot find it, or you have a result you do not trust, start with the inspection.
If the affected area is below grade — which in Adams County it usually is — the basement and crawlspace page covers the specifics of how those spaces fail and what correcting them actually involves. And if the area is under roughly ten square feet on a non-porous surface with the moisture source already fixed, call us anyway and we will tell you how to handle it yourself.
