A Redgranite water damage inspection isn't a walk-through with a flashlight. It's a systematic, instrument-driven assessment that produces a written report showing exactly where the water went, how saturated each affected assembly is, and what needs to happen next.
A credible water damage inspection in Redgranite does more than identify where the water is visible. It traces where the water went — through structural assemblies, behind finishes, and into below-grade spaces — and produces a written, defensible assessment you can act on or present to an insurance carrier, a buyer, or a remediation contractor.
Thermal imaging is non-destructive and covers large surface areas quickly — making it the most efficient way to map water migration in a Redgranite property.
Qualitative assessment says "it looks wet." Quantified readings say "this framing is at 28% moisture content and the dry standard is 10%."
Every COS Water Damage Restoration Redgranite water damage inspection produces a written report: affected area descriptions, thermal images with annotations, moisture meter readings at labeled sensor points, water category determination (Cat 1/2/3), and a recommended scope of work with priority sequencing. Reports are formatted to be useful to your insurance carrier, a remediation contractor, or a real estate transaction where water damage disclosure is at issue.
Both use cases are available in Redgranite — contact us with your specific situation and our inspector will scope the right assessment.
Here are the specific inspection scenarios and assembly types our Redgranite team handles.
Active event inspection is the step that prevents under-scoped remediation and missed hidden damage.
Pre-purchase water damage inspections in Redgranite are scheduled on the buyer's timeline and the written report is available for the transaction file.
After a water damage remediation project is completed in a Redgranite 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 Redgranite post-remediation inspection produces a written verification report formatted for real estate and insurance use.
Properties in Redgranite that had a water event 48 hours or more before inspection — or where a slow leak went undetected for an extended period — may present mold risk alongside ongoing moisture concerns. Our mold risk assessment inspection identifies the structural conditions that support mold growth: elevated moisture content in organic materials, elevated ambient relative humidity, and the presence of visible mold growth on surface or semi-concealed areas. This assessment determines whether a standard drying-focused remediation is appropriate or whether S520-standard mold remediation protocols need to be incorporated into the project scope.
Below-grade moisture in Redgranite properties is underdetected and underlies a significant portion of structural issues discovered later.
When an insurance carrier requests additional documentation for a water damage claim — or when a claim has been disputed based on damage scope — our Redgranite 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.


Same-day scheduling available for active water events. Pre-purchase inspections booked on your transaction timeline.
Systematic, instrument-driven, fully documented during the on-site session.
You understand what was found before you receive the written report.
The written inspection report — thermal images with annotations, sensor point readings mapped to a floor plan, water category determination, and recommended scope — is delivered within 24-48 hours of the on-site session, formatted for insurance, remediation, or real estate use as appropriate to your situation. We're available to answer adjuster or real estate agent questions about the findings.



"The thermal imaging session was what sold me on how a proper Redgranite water damage inspection should work. Our inspector traced water migration I never could have guessed at — the event in the utility room had spread moisture into the adjacent storage room wall framing more than twelve feet away. The written report documented all of it and our remediation contractor used it directly to scope the drying project."
"We used the COS Water Damage Restoration Redgranite inspection report to file a homeowner's claim for a water damage event. The adjuster reviewed the thermal image documentation and sensor point readings and approved the full remediation scope on first submission. The inspection report paid for itself many times over by eliminating the supplement process."
"The post-remediation verification inspection is what I most value. After our last Redgranite property water event, the remediation contractor signed off on completion. We had COS Water Damage Restoration do a verification inspection and found one wall section with framing still above 15% moisture content. That section would have been a mold problem within weeks. The verification inspection caught it before it became our problem."
