Not all water damage is visible.
After a recent drain backup, our team used electronic moisture meters to inspect a basement and discovered significant moisture trapped beneath the LVP flooring. While the surface appeared dry, hidden moisture remained underneath.
Left untreated, trapped moisture can lead to mold growth, bacterial contamination, and persistent odors. The best solution was to remove the affected flooring, dry the area thoroughly, and disinfect the concrete before restoration.
Finding hidden moisture is one of the most important steps in professional water damage restoration and mold prevention.
