Moisture Infiltration Investigation

When interior walls show staining, musty odor, or soft drywall near exterior walls, the source is almost always the building envelope. We trace moisture entry points from the exterior using non-invasive meters before recommending any destructive investigation.

Customer Reviews

Real Reviews from Siding Inspection Clients Across Mount Vernon, IL

★★★★★

We almost closed on a house without knowing about significant moisture damage behind the north siding. Forge Siding's pre-purchase inspection found elevated readings on two wall sections — no interior symptoms yet, but active moisture in the sheathing. We used the report to negotiate a $14,000 credit from the seller.

R. & T. Holcomb

Mount Vernon, IL

★★★★★

The written report was organized by priority and included rough repair cost ranges. That's exactly what you need to decide which items to address immediately versus which to monitor.

Y. Okafor

Mount Vernon, IL homeowner

★★★★★

Post-hail inspection documented 47 impact-damaged panels we couldn't see from the ground. The photo report went to our insurance adjuster and the claim was approved at the full replacement scope. Without the report, the adjuster's initial walk-around found eight.

C. Bauer

Mount Vernon

★★★★★

Knowing what the buyer's inspector would find before they found it was worth the inspection fee many times over. The repairs were small; the buyer credit request that didn't happen would have been much larger.

FAQ

Answers to Your Siding Inspection Questions in Mount Vernon, IL

Home inspectors cover 20+ systems in a standard inspection and typically spend less than five minutes per exterior elevation. We spend 90 minutes to three hours on the exterior alone, with diagnostic tools and the specific expertise to identify early-stage failure before it becomes costly damage.

Our standard inspection toolkit includes a calibrated pin-type moisture meter for sheathing readings, a non-invasive capacitance meter for scanning behind panels in suspected infiltration zones, a caulk probe tool for joint testing, a 24" level for checking panel alignment and drainage plane, and a DSLR with macro capability for documenting panel-face conditions. We also use a tablet-based photo documentation system that geo-tags images to their location on the building.

Annual inspections on any siding over 15 years old are worthwhile in IL — not because something is necessarily wrong, but because catching failed caulk and minor fastener movement at the annual visit costs a fraction of the water damage repair those small deficiencies cause if left unaddressed for years.

Our inspection fee is quoted upfront when you book. If the inspection identifies repair work you want us to complete, the inspection fee is credited against the repair project cost. That approach ensures the inspection report is an unbiased assessment, not a sales tool.

We've found active sheathing moisture on homes where the interior walls and the siding surface looked completely normal. The siding was intact, the drywall showed no staining, but non-invasive meter readings showed significant moisture behind two wall sections. Targeted repair before interior damage appeared saved the homeowner a major mold and drywall remediation project.

Yes, we can complete any repair work identified in the inspection report. However, the inspection report is yours regardless of whether you use us for repairs. It includes enough detail — panel counts, locations, deficiency type — for you to get competitive repair quotes from any contractor. We don't use the report as leverage to lock you into using us for follow-up work.
