Precise Water Damage Assessments That Protect Your Property and Health

IET Icon

The southeastern United States, especially Florida, has a hot, humid, and rainy climate that stresses buildings and makes them prone to moisture intrusion. Untreated water damage can lead to mold growth within 48 to 72 hours, posing health risks and accelerating material deterioration. Prompt action is essential to prevent mold and further damage.

With decades of experience and advanced equipment, Indoor Environmental Technologies (IET) helps identify hidden moisture, classify water contamination, and document damage accurately to support efficient restoration and insurance claims. By partnering with IET, you gain access to expert guidance, cutting-edge technology, and responsive support designed to minimize downtime, prevent structural damage, and protect occupant health.

Why Professional Water Damage Assessment is Critical for Your Property

IET Icon

Prevent Costly Mistakes

Missing hidden moisture behind walls or under flooring leads to mold growth, structural damage, and expensive repair callbacks that destroy profit margins.

Support Insurance Claims

Detailed documentation with moisture meter readings and thermal imaging provides the evidence insurance company adjusters need to approve claims quickly.

Prevent Mold Growth & Health Risks

Excess moisture left undetected creates the perfect environment for mold spores to multiply, turning a water damage cleanup into a full mold remediation project that can pose health hazards to occupants.

Our Water Damage Assessment Services

Moisture and Mold Investigations

Our team conducts thorough investigations of moisture and mold to locate mold growth caused by water damage and assess the spread of mold spores within the building. IET experts use visual inspections, moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and air- and surface-sampling to gather essential data. From this information, detailed Mold Remediation Protocols are developed for remediation contractors to estimate repairs.

Sewage Loss Screening

Sewage leaks or backflows create unsanitary conditions that can harbor harmful bacteria and viruses. If contaminated water and materials aren’t promptly removed, mold growth can occur. Our team works with remediation contractors to ensure sewage cleanup meets industry standards and performs Post-Remediation Verification inspections to confirm safe mold levels before reconstruction.

Water Damage Restoration Compliance

IET partners with water damage restoration contractors to ensure the proper and cost-effective use of drying equipment in accordance with the IICRC S500 Standard. This collaboration helps minimize downtime, reduce drying costs, and assures insurers and property owners that water damage is managed efficiently.

Our Comprehensive Assessment Process

IET Icon

IET follows a thorough five-step mold and moisture inspection process designed to identify and address mold issues effectively:

STEP 01

Initial Damage Inspection

Our team arrives on-site to identify the water source and determine the water contamination category. We classify water as clean (Category 1), gray (Category 2), or black water requiring sewage cleanup (Category 3). Using moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, we document all affected areas while assessing immediate safety hazards and structural concerns. Personal protective equipment keeps our inspection team safe while evaluating contaminated environments.

STEP 01

STEP 02

Detailed Damage Classification

IET classifies damage severity using the industry-standard Class 1-4 system. We measure moisture levels in walls, floors, ceilings, and structural materials to determine the extent of the water intrusion. Our advanced equipment detects hidden moisture that visual inspection cannot reveal, preventing future mold problem development.

STEP 02

STEP 03

Professional Documentation

Our team creates detailed reports, including photographs, measurements, and moisture readings that insurance adjusters recognize and trust. We provide repair recommendations, cost estimates, and documentation formatted for insurance claims and contractor bids. This documentation becomes your roadmap for effective restoration.

STEP 03

STEP 04

Restoration Planning Support

Beyond assessment, IET outlines the step-by-step restoration process and realistic timeline. We recommend appropriate drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, water extraction methods, and specialty techniques for deeply saturated materials. Our team provides ongoing consultation throughout your project to ensure success.
