What is a Point of Origin Evaluation?
If your home is suffering from a leak then the obvious response is to find the root of the problem and fix it. With that being said, finding where the leak is coming from is not always an easy process. If you can not find the source of the water damage and mold in your home then it may be time for a point of origin evaluation.
What to do When You Can’t Find a Leak?
As mentioned above, when having trouble finding the source of a leak you should schedule a point of origin evaluation. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it is essentially a service that uses a variety of methods to find where a building’s leak is coming from. Upon doing so you will have a good understanding of the problem and the steps that can be taken to fix it.
It is important to schedule one of these as soon as you can if you are experiencing a leak as there is only so much a building’s structure can take before it deteriorates.
What a Point of Origin Evaluation Looks Like
Now that you understand what a point of origin evaluation is, let’s go over what it looks like. Upon scheduling the evaluation, a professional will come to your house and use methods such as infrared cameras to determine the water’s point of origin. They will then document the findings and provide you with a comprehensive report. Upon completion the next step is to either fix the problem yourself or hire someone to do it. Keep in mind that there are many evaluators who offer the services necessary to address the problem after they identify it.
