What Our Castell Water Damage Inspection Covers
COS Water Damage Restoration's Castell inspection team covers every structural assembly type, every common water migration path, and every inspection use case encountered in residential and commercial water damage situations in TX.
Active & Recent Water Event Inspection
When a water damage event has just occurred in a Castell property — or happened within the last several days — our inspection maps the full extent of saturation while the moisture is still detectable by thermal imaging and direct meter readings. This inspection is the foundation of the remediation scope and the insurance claim documentation. Without it, remediation crews are guessing at what to dry, and insurance carriers are estimating on incomplete data. Our Castell active event inspection captures the full saturation picture at the moment of peak detectable moisture — when the readings tell the most accurate story of what happened.
Pre-Purchase Water Damage Inspection
Pre-purchase water damage inspections in Castell are scheduled on the buyer's timeline and the written report is available for the transaction file.
Post-Remediation Verification Inspection
After a water damage remediation project is completed in a Castell 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 Castell post-remediation inspection produces a written verification report formatted for real estate and insurance use.
Mold Risk Assessment Inspection
Mold risk assessment in Castell is distinct from air quality testing. We assess structural conditions and visible evidence — not air samples.
Crawlspace & Below-Grade Inspection
Below-grade spaces in Castell properties — crawlspaces, basement areas, and below-slab conditions — are among the most common locations for chronic moisture problems to go undetected. Our Castell below-grade inspection covers crawlspace wood framing moisture content readings at joists and beams, vapor barrier condition and coverage, condensation evidence on structural surfaces, and visual assessment for wood rot, fungal growth, and pest damage associated with chronic moisture. Written findings document the below-grade condition for remediation scoping or real estate disclosure.
Insurance Documentation Inspection
Our Castell inspection reports are formatted to the documentation standards that insurance carriers use to evaluate water damage claims in TX.
