This form must be completed and signed prior to us conducting any moisture testing. We cannot perform the moisture testing requested by the buyers without this form being signed.
Please call if you have any questions.
Structure Tech specializes in the moisture testing of buildings for the purpose of determining if there is moisture located behind the exterior wall cladding. A moisture inspection of your property has been requested.
In order to perform this inspection, we need the permission of the owner. We should have access to all parts of the exterior. Any security systems will need to be shut off during the testing, which can take several hours. We use standard industry practices for conducting the moisture tests, which includes the use of a penetrating probe meter to verify the moisture content of the structural wood and sheathing of the building. 3/16” holes will be placed under most windows and other possible moisture entry areas. These holes will be filled with caulk when the testing is completed.
We will make every effort to use a caulk that closely matches the color of the surrounding siding; however in some cases the holes may be noticeable upon close inspection. If the holes are of any cosmetic concern the property owner can have them painted with a matching paint.
I understand the above information and give my permission to test the building located at:

good stuff as always. may i suggest moving the mic/camera closer for better audio, or deadening the sound in there somehow?

Thanks, Tim.
My son told me the same thing about the audio. I tested out a different camera this time, and the microphone is definitely inferior. I won’t make the same mistake again.

Hi Reuban,
I am about to put down a rug on a 100 year old basement slab that is pretty thin and slants toward the drain. The carpet tends to mold along the perimeter walls and I’m thinking I should put down a subfloor over the concrete followed by the rug without a pad. However, the carpet does tend to move on the floor, because the floors slant toward the drain. The ceiling height is only 7 feet. I’m wondering if you think the subfloor is a good idea and if you could suggest a product. Many Thanks, Teresa

Putting down a subfloor to protect your rug sounds like overkill. I’d throw down a product designed to protect your rug, like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/DMX-1-STEP-100-sq-ft-3-ft-5-in-x-29-ft-DMX-1-Step-Carpet-and-Rug-Pad-Prevents-Mold-and-Mildew-1-Step-Carpet/306368487
