What Home Inspectors Often Miss About Water Damage—And Why You Need a Restoration Professional
Restoration 1 of Central Houston | Houston, TX

When buying or selling a home in Houston, a general home inspection is a standard part of the process—but it doesn’t always catch the full picture, especially when it comes to water damage. While inspectors check for obvious issues, they’re not equipped with the tools or expertise to detect hidden moisture, mold growth, or past leaks that were improperly repaired.
Water damage can lurk behind walls, under floors, or in crawl spaces—areas that often go unnoticed without specialized thermal imaging, moisture meters, or knowledge of how water travels through building materials. That’s where restoration professionals step in.
At Restoration 1 of Central Houston, we use advanced detection equipment to uncover water damage that standard home inspections may overlook. Whether it’s identifying a slow leak in the attic, moisture behind drywall, or microbial growth under flooring, we provide the thorough evaluation needed to protect your investment and ensure long-term safety.
Don’t rely on a basic inspection alone. For peace of mind, schedule a professional assessment with Restoration 1 of Central Houston to catch what others miss—before it becomes a costly repair.
