Fast, Dependable Results when it Matters the Most
What Is a Moisture Meter Inspection?
A moisture meter inspection is a non-invasive evaluation using specialized tools to measure the moisture content inside building materials like drywall, wood, insulation, and flooring. At EnvioCore, we use both pin and pinless moisture meters to detect hidden dampness that can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Moisture can remain trapped after leaks, floods, or high humidity—creating the perfect environment for mold growth and long-term damage. Our inspections identify problems early so you can take action fast.

When Should You Get a Moisture Meter Inspection?
- After a roof leak, plumbing issue, or basement flood
- If you smell musty odors or see mold, stains, or warped materials
- Before drywall repair, painting, or remodeling
- After water damage mitigation to confirm dryness
- During home inspections, especially for buyers or landlords
- As part of mold or indoor air quality testing
Why Moisture Inspections Matter
Even if a surface feels dry, moisture can stay hidden under paint, tile, subflooring, or inside walls. Unchecked, it can lead to:
- Mold and mildew growth
- Wood rot and drywall damage
- Pest issues (termites, carpenter ants)
- Foundation or insulation degradation
- Health risks from poor indoor air quality
- Costly repairs down the line
Moisture inspections give you hard data, not guesswork.
What We Inspect
Using industry-grade meters, we assess:
- Interior walls and ceilings (especially near bathrooms or kitchens)
- Flooring, subflooring, and baseboards
- Windows, doors, and roofline areas
- Crawlspaces, attics, and basements
- HVAC systems and condensation-prone spots
- Post-mitigation or drying work
We measure and document actual moisture readings (in % or WME), with interpretation by certified inspectors.
Health Concerns From Hidden Moisture
Moisture isn’t just a structural issue—it’s a health one too. Damp materials can grow mold in 24–48 hours. This can cause:
- Asthma or allergy flare-ups
- Fatigue, brain fog, or skin irritation
- Respiratory infections or sinus problems
- Increased risk for children, seniors, or immunocompromised individuals

Moisture Meter Inspection Q&A
Not quite. Moisture meters give exact readings, while infrared detects temperature differences. We often use both together.
No—our tools are non-invasive unless invasive testing is specifically required.
Consumer-grade meters exist but are less accurate. We use calibrated professional equipment and trained interpretation.
Yes. It confirms whether all moisture was actually removed—and catches problem areas early.
