Quantified moisture testing for buyers, sellers and owners — the document that keeps a stucco home sale alive.
From $395 · Report delivered within 48 hours of the site visit.
The problem
A home inspector writes 'synthetic stucco observed — recommend evaluation by a specialist' and suddenly your closing, your refinance or your peace of mind is hanging on a wall nobody can see inside.
Without hard numbers, everyone assumes the worst. Buyers walk, lenders balk, and remediation quotes of $15,000 to $50,000 get thrown around with no data behind them. Deals in Landfall and Brunswick Forest die this way every season — often over walls that were actually dry.
We test every elevation with probe and scan meters at 40 or more points, map the readings onto elevation drawings, and deliver a written report in 48 hours. If zones are wet, you get a targeted repair scope with real prices — not a whole-house guess.

Frequently asked questions
Will probe testing leave holes in my stucco?
Probe points are two small holes about the size of a pencil lead, and we seal every one with color-matched sealant before we leave. On finishes where owners prefer no penetrations, we can run scan-only surveys and probe just the suspect zones.
My sale is scheduled to close in two weeks. Is that enough time?
Usually, yes. We prioritize transaction-deadline inspections, the report lands in 48 hours, and most targeted repairs that come out of them are completed within a week. Tell us the closing date when you book.
