What Our Edison Water Damage Inspection Covers
Here are the specific inspection scenarios and assembly types our Edison team handles.
Active & Recent Water Event Inspection
When a water damage event has just occurred in a Edison property — or happened within the last several days — our inspection maps the full extent of saturation while the moisture is still detectable by thermal imaging and direct meter readings. This inspection is the foundation of the remediation scope and the insurance claim documentation. Without it, remediation crews are guessing at what to dry, and insurance carriers are estimating on incomplete data. Our Edison active event inspection captures the full saturation picture at the moment of peak detectable moisture — when the readings tell the most accurate story of what happened.
Pre-Purchase Water Damage Inspection
Real estate transactions in Edison frequently involve properties with prior water events — disclosed and undisclosed. Our pre-purchase inspection uses thermal imaging and moisture meters to identify active moisture in structural assemblies, staining patterns consistent with prior water intrusion, and the condition of previous remediation. For Edison buyers, this inspection provides either confidence that a disclosed water event was properly handled, or documentation that it was not — giving the buyer negotiating leverage and a clear picture of what additional remediation cost, if any, is warranted.
Post-Remediation Verification Inspection
After a water damage remediation project is completed in a Edison property — whether by COS Water Damage Restoration or another company — a verification inspection confirms that structural drying was completed to standard moisture content levels and that no hidden moisture was left behind. This inspection is requested by property owners who want independent confirmation of completion, by landlords who need documentation before returning a property to tenancy, and by sellers who need to demonstrate to a buyer that prior water damage was fully resolved. Our Edison post-remediation inspection produces a written verification report formatted for real estate and insurance use.
Mold Risk Assessment Inspection
Mold risk assessment in Edison is distinct from air quality testing. We assess structural conditions and visible evidence — not air samples.
Crawlspace & Below-Grade Inspection
Below-grade moisture in Edison properties is underdetected and underlies a significant portion of structural issues discovered later.
Insurance Documentation Inspection
When an insurance carrier requests additional documentation for a water damage claim — or when a claim has been disputed based on damage scope — our Edison insurance documentation inspection provides the instrument-backed evidence that supports the remediation scope. Thermal images with annotations, moisture meter readings at labeled sensor points, water category determination, and written assessment of the connection between the reported event and the documented damage create a claim file that can withstand adjuster scrutiny.
