Humid weather exacerbates moisture problems that are often a concern in crawl spaces and basements. Moisture from the groundwork can generate condensation on walls and other surfaces, creating a damp basement smell. In turn, this will probably turn into mould and mildew issues. To avoid these problems, get a home moisture test. Indeed, it is essential to ensure no moisture is left behind.
Moisture testing is necessary because it identifies areas where moisture intrusion occurs at potentially early stages. If moisture reoccurs, it can lead to various problems that may cause structural damage. Repairs can be costly, and the issue can also affect your health. Since the signs and symptoms are not always visible, most homeowners remain unaware of moisture intrusion until it becomes a serious problem—often only discovering it through a home moisture test report.

Steam ‘n’ Dry Pre-purchase Home Moisture Testing Auckland Service uses advanced moisture detection equipment, including various testing meters and probes designed to accurately identify hidden moisture in walls, floors, and ceilings. Our moisture probes quickly measure surface and subsurface moisture content, helping detect water sources, affected areas, and relative humidity levels in the air. With precise results and reliable diagnostics, home moisture testing truly makes good sense.

Buying a Home Is a Major Investment — Do It Right to Avoid Costly Mistakes.

Most home buyers typically focus on checking primary elements such as the roof’s condition (looking for rust, broken tiles, and patching), plumbing, taps, showers, and the status of drainage systems. They also inspect electrical wiring, the condition of piles (underfloor supports), insulation in ceilings, walls, fences, and signs of house movements like cracked window sills and doors. However, what often gets overlooked is the critical aspect of ‘Moisture.’ Neglecting this can lead to costly and unhealthy mistakes. It’s highly advisable to include a home moisture test service in your inspection process as soon as possible.

Meth Testing

Buying a meth-contaminated home can be a serious mistake—get it tested before purchasing a property to protect your health and peace of mind.

Meth is a highly addictive drug growing in popularity in Auckland. Perhaps, you could buy a Meth house or a Meth lab. Even smoking meth leaves behind a stew of chemicals. And that saturates walls, ceilings, floors, and carpets with meth and mercury, lead, iodine, lithium, and poisonous solvents. Indeed, exposure to even small amounts of these poisons can damage humans’ nervous systems, as well, the liver and blood production. Including small children who suffer the most. Exposure can trigger congenital disabilities and, therefore, developmental problems in babies in the womb. Meth is relatively inexpensive and easy to produce in residential meth labs and is a severe problem in Auckland. For assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us for an accurate meth test report.
