A Unity 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.
Here's what makes our Unity inspection service more than a visual walk-through.
Thermal imaging is non-destructive and covers large surface areas quickly — making it the most efficient way to map water migration in a Unity property.
Thermal imaging shows probable moisture — calibrated moisture meters confirm it. Our Unity inspectors use both pin-type meters (direct reading in framing and structural members) and non-penetrating radio-frequency meters (surface reading through drywall and flooring) to take quantified moisture content readings at all thermal-identified locations. These readings are recorded at labeled sensor points and become the data basis for the written inspection report.
A verbal assessment is an opinion. A written report with instrument readings is documentation.
Both use cases are available in Unity — contact us with your specific situation and our inspector will scope the right assessment.
Here are the specific inspection scenarios and assembly types our Unity team handles.
When a water damage event has just occurred in a Unity 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 Unity 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 inspections in Unity are scheduled on the buyer's timeline and the written report is available for the transaction file.
Post-remediation verification is an independent assessment — not a rubber stamp.
Mold risk assessment in Unity is distinct from air quality testing. We assess structural conditions and visible evidence — not air samples.
Below-grade spaces in Unity properties — crawlspaces, basement areas, and below-slab conditions — are among the most common locations for chronic moisture problems to go undetected. Our Unity 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 Unity inspection reports are formatted to the documentation standards that insurance carriers use to evaluate water damage claims in ME.


Call +1-844-499-0972 and describe your situation — active event, pre-purchase, post-remediation, mold concern, or insurance documentation. Our Unity scheduler assigns the appropriate inspection type and confirms your appointment. Most Unity residential inspections are available within 24-48 hours.
Systematic, instrument-driven, fully documented during the on-site session.
You understand what was found before you receive the written report.
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 Unity 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 Unity 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."
"We manage a portfolio of Unity rental properties and COS Water Damage Restoration's inspection service is what we use every time a water event is reported, prior to any remediation starting. The inspection report maps the damage completely — it's what we give our remediation contractor as the scope of work and what we give our insurer as the damage documentation. Having a consistent, instrument-backed inspection process has eliminated the disputes we used to have about whether remediation was complete or whether the damage scope matched what we claimed."
