Moisture Infiltration Investigation

When interior walls show staining, musty odor, or soft drywall near exterior walls, the source is almost always the building envelope. We trace moisture entry points from the exterior using non-invasive meters before recommending any destructive investigation.

Customer Reviews

Forge Siding Siding Inspection — Verified Mars, PA Customer Feedback

★★★★★

We almost closed on a house without knowing about significant moisture damage behind the north siding. Forge Siding's pre-purchase inspection found elevated readings on two wall sections — no interior symptoms yet, but active moisture in the sheathing. We used the report to negotiate a $14,000 credit from the seller.

★★★★★

Annual inspection caught a failed caulk joint at our rear sliding door that I never would have noticed — it was behind a hose bib and completely out of view. Fixed for under $300. The inspector showed me what to watch for at that location going forward.

★★★★★

Post-hail inspection documented 47 impact-damaged panels we couldn't see from the ground. The photo report went to our insurance adjuster and the claim was approved at the full replacement scope. Without the report, the adjuster's initial walk-around found eight.

C. Bauer

★★★★★

Knowing what the buyer's inspector would find before they found it was worth the inspection fee many times over. The repairs were small; the buyer credit request that didn't happen would have been much larger.

FAQ

Siding Inspection FAQ — Mars, PA Homeowners Ask

Home inspectors cover 20+ systems in a standard inspection and typically spend less than five minutes per exterior elevation. We spend 90 minutes to three hours on the exterior alone, with diagnostic tools and the specific expertise to identify early-stage failure before it becomes costly damage.

The tools determine what the inspection can find. Non-invasive meters identify elevated moisture conditions behind panels without drilling. Pin meters confirm readings at accessible points. Without these tools, an inspection is a visual walk-around — useful, but incomplete for moisture-related issues that are the most expensive siding failures.

Specific triggers: before purchasing a home (negotiate from knowledge), before listing a home (disclose and address issues proactively), after any hail or high-wind event (document damage for insurance), when interior moisture symptoms appear near exterior walls (trace the source before treating the symptom), and as an annual maintenance check on homes with wood or aging fiber cement siding in Mars, PA's climate.

Our inspection fee is quoted upfront when you book. If the inspection identifies repair work you want us to complete, the inspection fee is credited against the repair project cost. That approach ensures the inspection report is an unbiased assessment, not a sales tool.

We've found active sheathing moisture on homes where the interior walls and the siding surface looked completely normal. The siding was intact, the drywall showed no staining, but non-invasive meter readings showed significant moisture behind two wall sections. Targeted repair before interior damage appeared saved the homeowner a major mold and drywall remediation project.

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

In 1873, Samuel Parks constructed a home and a water-powered gristmill along Breakneck Creek. Parks decided to have a post office placed in his home, so he received help from his friend Samuel Marshall to help establish it. The name of the post office became Overbrook. In 1877, the Pittsburgh, New Castle and Lake Erie Railroad was constructed through Overbrook, and had a station built there. In 1882, the name of the community was changed to Mars since the railroad already had a stop with the name "Overbrook". No one is sure how the name "Mars" came into being. Some say it was Park's wife who enjoyed astronomy, while others believe it was shortened after Samuel Marshall's name. On March 6, 1895, Mars was incorporated as a borough.
