Answers to the most frequently asked restoration questions from Reading property owners.
Our Reading technicians use professional-grade moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers to map moisture throughout your property. These tools detect water hidden behind walls, under flooring, and in ceiling cavities that is invisible to the eye. Accurate moisture mapping ensures we dry every affected area and prevents hidden pockets of moisture from causing mold or structural decay later.
Category 1 is clean water from sources like broken supply lines. Category 2 is gray water from appliances or sump pump failures that may contain contaminants. Category 3 is black water from sewage backups or outdoor flooding and poses serious health risks. Each category requires different safety protocols and restoration methods.
