Building Moisture Consulting™

Building Moisture Consulting™

For the water problem nobody has been able to explain yet.

Some buildings have been repaired three times and are still wet. Building Moisture Consulting™ is an investigation engagement rather than a sales visit: we assemble the history, take the readings, evaluate the assemblies, and write down what the evidence actually supports.

Two Black Home Remedies technicians in navy uniforms branded HOME REMEDIES on the back — the foreground technician kneeling with his back to the camera, navy cap, clear safety glasses, black gloves and a half-mask respirator with pink filters, taking a moisture-meter reading against an exposed ceiling joist while holding a tablet in his other hand, the second technician kneeling and working behind near a tripod work light; pink insulation between the exposed joists, silver flexible ducting and a white PVC pipe overhead, white vapor barrier lining the walls, a blue Home Remedies dehumidifier at the right, blue Home Remedies air movers and a black Home Remedies tool bag on the concrete floor

The investigation

  • History review: what has failed, what has been repaired, when it recurs
  • Systematic moisture readings across suspect assemblies and materials
  • Environmental conditions: temperature, relative humidity and dew point relationships
  • Envelope, drainage, grading and mechanical-system review
  • Evaluation of condensation potential versus bulk-water intrusion

The deliverable

  • A written findings report with photos and recorded readings
  • A stated moisture hypothesis and the evidence supporting it
  • A prioritized correction plan, sequenced by impact and dependency
  • Clear identification of scopes that belong to other licensed trades

Who requests it

Property managers with a recurring problem, owners deciding between competing contractor recommendations, builders diagnosing a warranty issue, and institutions that need a defensible written basis before committing capital.
