🔍 Water Testing & Leak Detection
Not sure where that mystery moisture is coming from? We don’t guess-we test.
At Rapid Dry, we specialize in forensic water testing to pinpoint exactly where the intrusion begins. Whether it’s a slow drip behind the wall or a roof leak that only shows up in a storm, we’ll find it.
Here's how it works:
Non-Invasive First – We begin with moisture meters and infrared imaging to detect moisture without tearing anything apart. This helps us narrow down the suspect areas.
Targeted Material Removal (If Needed) – If deeper testing is required, we may carefully remove materials (like baseboards, drywall, or trim) to expose the moisture path.
Controlled Water Testing – We’ll simulate water flow in the area for up to 1–2 hours, depending on material type and suspected intrusion pattern. This helps us confirm the exact source of the leak.
Detailed Documentation – You'll get a full report, complete with photos, readings, and professional recommendations—perfect for insurance, repairs, or peace of mind.
Why it matters:
Leaks don’t fix themselves. And surface drying won’t stop a hidden source. Without proper source identification, you're just treating symptoms—not the cause.
