Using a FLIR Meter to Detect Moisture After Water Damage

By using a FLIR meter, professionals can pinpoint areas that need drying, helping prevent long-term issues.

After water damage in your home, you need to worry about more than visible water. Hidden moisture can seep into walls, floors, and ceilings, creating the perfect environment for mold growth and long-term structural damage. That’s why at SERVPRO®, we use advanced technology like FLIR meters to detect moisture that can’t be seen by the naked eye.

A FLIR meter is a thermal imaging tool that identifies temperature differences in your home’s structure. When water is trapped behind walls or under flooring, it often creates cooler spots, which the FLIR meter highlights with precision. This allows our SERVPRO technicians to accurately identify problem areas and take immediate action, ensuring that every inch of your home is properly dried.

By using FLIR meters, we don’t just restore your home’s surface—we target hidden moisture to prevent further damage and health risks. With this technology, SERVPRO ensures that your home is completely restored, giving you peace of mind and protecting your property for the long term. When you choose SERVPRO, you're not just getting quick service; you're getting thorough, professional care with the best tools available!
