Warning signs

Signs of moisture you should check.

Hidden moisture does its damage quietly, inside walls, under floors and above ceilings.

  1. 01
    A musty smell

    Often the first sign of moisture behind walls or under flooring.

  2. 02
    Stains, bubbling paint or soft spots

    Water spreading inside the structure shows up on the surface late.

  3. 03
    After any leak or flood

    Even after the visible water is gone, materials can still be wet.

  4. 04
    Before you close up repairs

    Confirming materials are dry prevents mold behind new drywall.

A pipe burst in our attic at 1:30 AM… Mike answered my call immediately and walked us through the emergency steps. By morning he and JP had navigated ice-covered hills to reach our door.

Bear was the only one to answer the phone over the weekend. They had guys handle my entire insurance claim with the adjuster communication all the way thru where I was hands off.

A leaking shower led to mold and another company did the remediation. I wasn’t confident in their work and called Bear for a second opinion. My experience was stellar.

Questions

Moisture detection, answered straight.

Still not sure?Ask the Bear Home Advisor in the corner. Send a photo of the problem. Or call, and a person answers.
Why test for moisture if the floor feels dry?

A surface can feel dry while the subfloor, framing and wall bottoms still hold water. Readings show where water actually went, which decides how much material has to come out.

What does thermal imaging show?

Temperature differences that often point to moisture behind surfaces. It guides where to take meter readings; it does not replace them.

How do you know when a home is dry?

When readings across the affected materials reach their target levels and hold steady between daily checks. We record them for you and your insurer.
