Siding fails gradually — moisture works into sheathing for months before interior damage appears. Most homeowners never know their cladding system is failing until the repair scope has doubled. Our New Wilmington, PA inspection specialists use pin-type and non-invasive moisture meters, visual documentation protocols, and close-range panel assessment to give you an accurate picture of your building envelope before you buy, sell, or commit to repairs.

Customer Reviews

Verified New Wilmington, PA Customer Feedback

★★★★★

The pre-purchase inspection found elevated sheathing moisture on two wall sections that the general home inspector had called 'siding in acceptable condition.' We had the seller credit the repair cost. That inspection paid for itself many times over.

R. & T. Holcomb

New Wilmington, PA

★★★★★

The written report is organized exactly the way a contractor needs it — deficiency, elevation, priority, rough cost. I gave it to three repair contractors and got comparable quotes immediately.

Y. Okafor

New Wilmington, PA homeowner

★★★★★

Post-hail inspection documented 47 impact-damaged panels across three elevations. The insurance adjuster's walk-around had found eight. Our claim settlement was for 47. The photo report was the difference between a partial patch and a full elevation replacement.

C. Bauer

New Wilmington, PA

★★★★★

The report's separation of Critical, Moderate, and Monitor deficiencies made it easy to prioritize what to fix before listing versus what to disclose as maintenance items. That structure saved us from over-spending on low-priority issues.

FAQ

Answers to Your Siding Inspection Questions

General home inspectors cover 20+ building systems and typically spend less than five minutes per exterior elevation, noting obvious visual deficiencies from a distance. A dedicated siding inspection covers the same exterior in 90 minutes to three hours, with close-range panel assessment, calibrated moisture meter readings at a systematic grid, caulk probe testing at every accessible penetration, fastener pattern checks at accessible areas, and documented assessment of housewrap integrity at soffit edges and window flanges.

Our standard toolkit: calibrated pin-type moisture meter for sheathing readings at accessible points, non-invasive capacitance meter for scanning behind panels in suspected infiltration zones, caulk probe tool for joint integrity testing, 24" level for checking panel alignment and drainage plane, and DSLR with macro capability for documenting panel-face conditions. We also use a tablet documentation system that references each photo to its location on the building.

Specific triggers: before purchasing a property (negotiate from documented knowledge), before listing (disclose accurately and fix what matters), after any hail or high-wind event (document damage for insurance before calling the adjuster), when interior moisture symptoms appear (trace the source before treating the symptom), and as an annual maintenance check on homes with wood or aging fiber cement siding in PA.

Professional siding-specific inspection fees in PA typically range from a few hundred dollars for a basic assessment on a standard single-family home to more for larger properties requiring full elevation moisture mapping. We provide a fixed fee quote when you schedule, based on home size and story count — no open-ended hourly billing.

Yes — non-invasive capacitance meter scanning identifies elevated moisture behind panels without drilling or cutting. The meter detects elevated moisture content in the wall assembly and flags zones for confirmation with targeted pin readings at accessible points. We've identified active sheathing moisture on New Wilmington, PA properties where the exterior surface appeared completely intact and the interior walls showed no staining.

The inspection and the repair are separate service decisions. Our goal on the inspection is the most accurate assessment possible. What you do with the information is entirely your choice — and the report gives you the documentation to make that choice from an informed position.
