Stucco can look perfectly sound while hidden moisture intrusion exists behind the cladding. Our specialized stucco inspections include moisture probe testing to help identify elevated moisture conditions and potential concealed damage risks.

Surface appearance alone doesn’t tell the whole story.

Probe testing may help:
