Water Damage Inspection in Chula Vista, CA
DRC Restoration responded to a residential property in Chula Vista, CA following concerns of a possible roof leak. The homeowner reported signs that suggested prior moisture exposure, including slight flooring irregularities and a small stain under the kitchen sink cabinet. Our team conducted a comprehensive inspection using professional moisture detection equipment to determine whether active water damage was present and to provide clear documentation for the property.
Assessment and Findings
At the time of inspection, the exact source of loss had not been confirmed, though it was believed to be related to a possible roof leak. All areas tested during the evaluation were found to be dry. In the kitchen, laminate flooring readings matched the dry standard consistent with unaffected areas throughout the home. Drywall, baseboards, lower and upper cabinetry, ceiling areas, soffits, and toe kicks were inspected. Toe kicks were removed to check beneath cabinetry, and no elevated moisture was detected. A small water stain measuring approximately 3″ x 3″ was observed under the sink cabinet; however, the area tested dry.
Additional Areas Inspected
The dining room laminate flooring was also dry, although two small sections appeared slightly raised a few feet beyond the kitchen area. These areas did not show elevated moisture at the time of testing. In the garage, drywall behind the washer and dryer and around the water heater was assessed and confirmed dry. No signs of active leaks, moisture intrusion, or structural impact were identified during the inspection.
Leak Detection and Documentation
Master Plumbing was onsite performing leak detection while the inspection was underway. At the time of departure, no active leaks or elevated moisture conditions had been identified. No visible microbial growth, noticeable odor, or signs of long-term damage were observed. No pre-existing damages were noted. Because all materials were within normal moisture range, mitigation or dry-out services were not required.
Result
The Chula Vista home was thoroughly evaluated using a Tramex moisture meter and FLIR thermal imaging camera to ensure accurate readings and documentation. All inspected areas were confirmed dry, and no escalation concerns were identified. The property remains stable with no mitigation needed at this time, pending adjuster review.
