A Lewisville 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 Lewisville 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.
FLIR infrared thermal cameras detect temperature differentials in structural surfaces — a wet wall cavity cools differently than a dry one during evaporation, making moisture migration visible as a thermal signature even behind intact drywall. Our Lewisville inspection team uses thermal imaging as the primary tool for tracing water migration paths through wall systems, subfloor assemblies, and ceiling cavities, identifying affected areas before a single pin is driven into a wall.
Qualitative assessment says "it looks wet." Quantified readings say "this framing is at 28% moisture content and the dry standard is 10%."
A verbal assessment is an opinion. A written report with instrument readings is documentation.
Our Lewisville inspection service covers two distinct use cases that require slightly different approaches: pre-remediation inspection (mapping an active or recent water event for claim documentation and remediation scoping) and pre-purchase or post-remediation verification inspection (confirming whether previous water damage was properly remediated or whether current conditions indicate an ongoing or previous water problem). Both use the same instrument suite and produce the same written report format, but the findings are interpreted differently for each use case.
Here are the specific inspection scenarios and assembly types our Lewisville team handles.
Active event inspection is the step that prevents under-scoped remediation and missed hidden damage.
Pre-purchase water damage inspections in Lewisville 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 Lewisville 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 Lewisville post-remediation inspection produces a written verification report formatted for real estate and insurance use.
Mold risk assessment in Lewisville is distinct from air quality testing. We assess structural conditions and visible evidence — not air samples.
Below-grade spaces in Lewisville properties — crawlspaces, basement areas, and below-slab conditions — are among the most common locations for chronic moisture problems to go undetected. Our Lewisville 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.
Our Lewisville inspection reports are formatted to the documentation standards that insurance carriers use to evaluate water damage claims in NC.


Call +1-844-499-0972 and describe your situation — active event, pre-purchase, post-remediation, mold concern, or insurance documentation. Our Lewisville scheduler assigns the appropriate inspection type and confirms your appointment. Most Lewisville residential inspections are available within 24-48 hours.
Systematic, instrument-driven, fully documented during the on-site session.
After the on-site assessment, your Lewisville inspector reviews the key findings with you — which areas are affected, what the readings indicate, what water category applies, and what remediation is indicated. If you have questions about specific readings or want to understand what a particular finding means, this is the conversation for it. The verbal review happens on-site.
Report delivered in the format your use case requires, within 48 hours of inspection.



"The thermal imaging session was what sold me on how a proper Lewisville 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."
"I had noticed a musty smell in a room of my Lewisville home for months before calling COS Water Damage Restoration. Their inspection found active moisture in the subfloor assembly under an area rug — a slow pipe drip that had been going on long enough to saturate the subfloor significantly without any visible surface evidence. The written report documented the moisture readings, the thermal images showing the extent of the affected area, and the recommended scope. I would never have found this without the thermal camera."
"The post-remediation verification inspection is what I most value. After our last Lewisville 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."
