For Chicago property owners
High humidity and Chicago summer weather conditions can cause condensation problems in poorly ventilated crawl spaces. This moisture can be confused with plumbing leaks causing unnecessary worry. We perform a complete analysis to determine whether moisture is structural, atmospheric, or a result of a pipe failure.

We locate the leak first, so repairs open only what needs opening. No guesswork, no unnecessary demolition.
Thermal imaging cameras
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences behind walls and under floors caused by escaping water.
Acoustic listening
Amplified ground microphones pick up the sound of pressurized water leaking through concrete and soil.
Moisture meters and mapping
Readings in drywall, wood, and concrete trace moisture back toward its source.
Video pipe inspection
