Investigation
At Reed Consulting we have the equipment to thoroughly investigate the issues, but more importantly, we have thousands of projects behind us, to be able to interpret that data.
Infrared Thermography
Concrete Moisture Vapor Transmission Testing
Water Intrusion Investigations
Trying to determine the source of water infiltration below grade can be the most challenging endeavor in this industry. Experience is the key that drives a successful investigation.
Mold Remediation
Mold issues are 99.9% due to moisture! Determining that there is a mold problem is just the beginning. It doesn’t accomplish anything to remove the mold without correcting the moisture that caused the mold issue in the first place.
In the last 24 months, more health issues have been linked to mold and moisture than ever before realized.
If you have preventative or remedial moisture management needs in existing properties, Reed Consulting can help.
