A Pullman 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 Pullman 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 Pullman property.
Qualitative assessment says "it looks wet." Quantified readings say "this framing is at 28% moisture content and the dry standard is 10%."
Every COS Water Damage Restoration Pullman water damage inspection produces a written report: affected area descriptions, thermal images with annotations, moisture meter readings at labeled sensor points, water category determination (Cat 1/2/3), and a recommended scope of work with priority sequencing. Reports are formatted to be useful to your insurance carrier, a remediation contractor, or a real estate transaction where water damage disclosure is at issue.
Both use cases are available in Pullman — contact us with your specific situation and our inspector will scope the right assessment.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Pullman inspection team covers every structural assembly type, every common water migration path, and every inspection use case encountered in residential and commercial water damage situations in MI.
When a water damage event has just occurred in a Pullman 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 Pullman 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.
Real estate transactions in Pullman frequently involve properties with prior water events — disclosed and undisclosed. Our pre-purchase inspection uses thermal imaging and moisture meters to identify active moisture in structural assemblies, staining patterns consistent with prior water intrusion, and the condition of previous remediation. For Pullman buyers, this inspection provides either confidence that a disclosed water event was properly handled, or documentation that it was not — giving the buyer negotiating leverage and a clear picture of what additional remediation cost, if any, is warranted.
Post-remediation verification is an independent assessment — not a rubber stamp.
Properties in Pullman that had a water event 48 hours or more before inspection — or where a slow leak went undetected for an extended period — may present mold risk alongside ongoing moisture concerns. Our mold risk assessment inspection identifies the structural conditions that support mold growth: elevated moisture content in organic materials, elevated ambient relative humidity, and the presence of visible mold growth on surface or semi-concealed areas. This assessment determines whether a standard drying-focused remediation is appropriate or whether S520-standard mold remediation protocols need to be incorporated into the project scope.
Below-grade spaces in Pullman properties — crawlspaces, basement areas, and below-slab conditions — are among the most common locations for chronic moisture problems to go undetected. Our Pullman 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 Pullman inspection reports are formatted to the documentation standards that insurance carriers use to evaluate water damage claims in MI.


Same-day scheduling available for active water events. Pre-purchase inspections booked on your transaction timeline.
Our Pullman inspector arrives with FLIR thermal camera, calibrated pin-type and non-penetrating moisture meters, and inspection documentation tools. The inspection begins with a thermal pass of all suspected affected areas, followed by direct meter readings at all thermally identified locations. Each reading is recorded at a labeled sensor point location on the floor plan.
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 Pullman 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 Pullman 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 Pullman 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."
