Water Intrusion Forensic Investigation

We have found that it is common for several sources to contribute to a single observed leak. We do not stop when the 1st source is found, we continue until all contributing sources have been determined.

If dealing with a litigation matter, we can document and quantify the issues.

Concrete Moisture Vapor Transmission Testing

Understanding how moisture travels through and around concrete helps us interpret our results from moisture vapor transmission and relative humidity in concrete. This information is critical to prevent floor failures.

Testing moisture vapor drive, potential vapor drive and relative humidity and determining the moisture source is key to structure longevity, flooring performance and occupant health.

Infrared Thermography

Infrared thermography is a great tool to see through walls… It really just measures temperature, but it can visualize the difference temperatures of objects and see the temperature transmitting from behind drywall, siding, etc.

Using these tools for over 20 years, Reed Consulting has the expertise to interpret what is seen on the FLIR display. This is often the first step to intelligent investigation.

Mold Testing, Cause Investigation, and Remediation Planning

We go beyond testing to determine that there is mold elevation, we find out why! Reed Consulting has been investigating mold issues for over 20 years.

Mold requires excessive moisture. A proper Remediation Plan must include correcting the moisture issue in conjunction with removing the mold.
