Moisture Investigation & Leak Inspection
Not all water damage is visible. Slow leaks behind walls, under floors, and in crawl spaces can go undetected for months — causing mold growth, wood rot, and structural deterioration. Sano Steam's moisture investigation service uses professional-grade moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual inspection to locate hidden water sources. Early detection saves thousands in remediation and repair costs. This service is especially important in Wilmington's humid coastal climate where ambient moisture compounds the effects of even small leaks.
What We Offer
How It Works
Our straightforward process from start to finish
Consultation
We discuss your concerns — musty odors, staining, health symptoms, or prior water damage — and determine which areas need investigation.
Inspection
Using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual inspection, we systematically check walls, floors, ceilings, crawl spaces, and attic areas for elevated moisture.
Source Identification
When elevated moisture is found, we trace it to the source — whether that's a plumbing leak, foundation intrusion, condensation, or inadequate ventilation.
Report & Plan
We provide a detailed written report with moisture readings, photos, identified sources, and recommended next steps — whether that's repair, remediation, or monitoring.

“Sano Steam did an amazing job on our carpets. We have three dogs and two kids, and our carpets looked brand new after they finished. The crew was on time, professional, and the organic cleaning process left no chemical smell. Highly recommend!”
“Called Sano Steam at 2 AM when our water heater burst and flooded the basement. They were at our house within an hour and had the water extracted and drying equipment running before dawn. Their emergency response is unmatched.”
“After discovering mold in our crawl space, we called three companies for quotes. Sano Steam was the most thorough in their inspection, explained everything clearly, and their price was fair. The remediation was done in two days and they passed the post-test with flying colors.”
