Remediation after water contamination should be done fast and thoroughly. One of the main tools to use are moisture meters, which can assess the moisture condition of materials before starting remediation work. Meters should also be used to make sure all excess moisture is gone once the work is finished.

Ever since stories have circulated about how mold can affect people and make them sick, the restoration and home insurance industries have become serious about detecting and repairing water damage thoroughly and swiftly. Mold is not only bad for people; if left to thrive, it will make our homes uninhabitable.

Mold is not a plant and not an animal. Mold is a fungi with its own unique life-style, starting from a tiny microorganism called spore.

Why do we need moisture meters in water damage repair at every step of every job? The answer is quite simple: moisture meters are used for moisture control to avoid mold build-up and to check moisture in floors, cabinets and other furnishings to avoid cracking, checking and warping.
