Water damage in Blum properties rarely stays where it originated. It migrates through wall framing, saturates subfloor assemblies, moves along structural members, and collects in ceiling cavities — creating hidden moisture pockets that show no visible surface signs but create ideal conditions for mold growth within 48-72 hours. COS Water Damage Restoration's Blum inspection team uses FLIR thermal imaging, calibrated pin-type and non-penetrating moisture meters, and systematic structural assessment protocols to map water migration through your property completely — before remediation begins or before you close on a purchase.
Here's what makes our Blum 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 Blum 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 Blum 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 Blum — contact us with your specific situation and our inspector will scope the right assessment.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Blum 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 TX.
When a water damage event has just occurred in a Blum 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 Blum 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 Blum 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 Blum is distinct from air quality testing. We assess structural conditions and visible evidence — not air samples.
Below-grade moisture in Blum properties is underdetected and underlies a significant portion of structural issues discovered later.
Our Blum inspection reports are formatted to the documentation standards that insurance carriers use to evaluate water damage claims in TX.


Same-day scheduling available for active water events. Pre-purchase inspections booked on your transaction timeline.
Systematic, instrument-driven, fully documented during the on-site session.
After the on-site assessment, your Blum inspector reviews the key findings with you — which areas are affected, what the readings indicate, what water category applies, and what remediation is indicated. If you have questions about specific readings or want to understand what a particular finding means, this is the conversation for it. The verbal review happens on-site.
The written inspection report — thermal images with annotations, sensor point readings mapped to a floor plan, water category determination, and recommended scope — is delivered within 24-48 hours of the on-site session, formatted for insurance, remediation, or real estate use as appropriate to your situation. We're available to answer adjuster or real estate agent questions about the findings.



"The thermal imaging session was what sold me on how a proper Blum 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 Blum 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 Blum 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."
