Detect Hidden Moisture Before It Causes Serious Damage

Water can travel behind walls, under flooring, and into structural materials without obvious signs. A professional water damage assessment helps uncover issues early so you can avoid long-term damage.

Our inspections identify:

  • Hidden moisture inside walls, ceilings, and floors
  • Active leaks and intrusion points
  • Areas at risk for mold growth
  • Structural materials affected by water
  • Previous damage that was not fully resolved

With a complete home water damage inspection, you gain clarity on what is happening and what needs to be done.


Our Water Damage Assessment Process

We follow a structured process to ensure nothing is missed and results are accurate.

Visual Inspection

We evaluate all visible areas for signs of water damage, staining, warping, and deterioration.

Moisture Detection

Using professional-grade meters and thermal imaging, we locate moisture that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Source Identification

We determine where the water is coming from, whether it is a leak, intrusion, or humidity-related issue.

Detailed Reporting

You receive a clear breakdown of findings, affected areas, and recommended next steps.


When You Need a Home Water Damage Inspection

Water damage often starts small and grows over time. You should consider a professional inspection if you notice:

  • Water stains on walls or ceilings
  • Warped flooring or baseboards
  • Musty odors or damp conditions
  • Recent storms or plumbing leaks
  • Unexplained increases in humidity
  • Buying or selling a property

A timely water damage assessment helps prevent further deterioration and protects your investment.


Why Professional Water Damage Assessment Matters

Surface-level inspections can miss critical issues. A professional assessment ensures:

  • Accurate detection of hidden moisture
  • Identification of the true source of the problem
  • Prevention of mold growth and structural damage
  • Reliable documentation for insurance claims
  • Clear recommendations for repair or restoration

Our home water damage inspection provides the insight needed to take action with confidence.

Mark and Noeli were extremely professional, thorough and explained the mold test in simple terms. And Bernhardt is the epitome of a quality family-owned business.

This is an overdue thank you to, and recommendation of Bernhardt/Mark and Noeli. I cannot more highly recommend their sevices for mold/water damage remediation—extremely professional, thorough and effective. I had a tricky water damage and black mold issue. Mark and Noeli comprehensively assessed my condo and accurately diagnosed the problem area/root cause (more on this below)—and coordinated and oversaw a full remediation and restoration solution. And the firms that they bring into the fold were equally superb. For me, beyond testing and diagnosis, as I was remote at the time, they were effectively project managers for me. They made what could have been a terrible experience, to one that was simple and easy, if not positive; always going above and beyond. I also want to give a shout out to them for their and their contractor’s work for putting the customer (me) at the center of their efforts: my condo association was adamant that the root cause was not the roof and therefore my responsibility. Mark and Noeli and team literally scientifically showed the source and flow of water through the concrete (moisture testing), which convinced the association it was indeed a deferred roof maintenance issue and that they needed to fix the roof (and they did)—and I have had no moisture issue since. Again, highly professional, courteous (delightful) and responsive team for mold/water remediation needs. I cannot speak more highly of their work.

Mark and Noeli came into our home and made a thorough evaluation. They answered questions during the inspection and were pleasant and professional. The report and testing results were reported back in less than 48 hours and they answered further questions immediately. Very happy we called Bernhardt Mold Inspection, Remediation and Restoration, Inc.

Bernhardt Restoration is @ the top of my list of contractors who I have worked with. When I found water damage in my house, they responded quickly. Very professionally,they explained the work that needed to be done & how much it would cost. They have new equipment to deal with the damage. They use current technology to monitor mold remediation. Since I am out of state, Noeli kept me informed of the progress being made with texts & photos. Mark took extra steps to relocate the water heater & dryer vent, treating my home ” like it was his own”. They recommended quality contractors to hire for the remolding. If you are looking for quality workmanship done in a timely manner, I highly recommend Bernhardt Restoration.

Atilio the owner was incredibly responsive. I found Bernhardt Restoration through Angi and Atilio had reached out within a couple of hours on a Sunday to learn more about the project and was onsite taking a look within 48 hours. He listened to my concerns and worked with me to get the work scheduled to accommodate a difficult schedule around movers and other contractors. His team spent a whole day Sunday doing asbestos removal to get the job done. I appreciated that he was super communicative throughout the process, showing up on time, sharing updates throughout the day on progress and calling me to go through a debrief. I would definitely recommend working with him.

I had the pleasure of working with Bernhardt restoration, they were recommended to me from Angi’s list. They assessed the damage to my roof and to my ceiling and were able to fix both now it’s hard to even see where the damage was to begin with. They also checked my sump pumps, turns out one wasn’t even working so they replaced them too. Very affordable price and kind people to work with. I would recommend!

Atilio, the owner, is very responsive and knowledgeable. He showed up within a hr we called him. Took a Quick Look and was able to identify the issue very quickly. His team did an amazing job with addressing the mold under the kitchen sink. Highly recommend Atilio and Bernhardt Restoration

Bernhardt Restoration was very helpful to us when selling our home. Mold was found in the attic and crawl. Not only did they address that problem, but they gave us good ideas on how to help our home sell faster. They were careful doing their work, and did not leave a mess. I would definitely recommend them!
