A Trimble 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.
A credible water damage inspection in Trimble does more than identify where the water is visible. It traces where the water went — through structural assemblies, behind finishes, and into below-grade spaces — and produces a written, defensible assessment you can act on or present to an insurance carrier, a buyer, or a remediation contractor.
FLIR infrared thermal cameras detect temperature differentials in structural surfaces — a wet wall cavity cools differently than a dry one during evaporation, making moisture migration visible as a thermal signature even behind intact drywall. Our Trimble inspection team uses thermal imaging as the primary tool for tracing water migration paths through wall systems, subfloor assemblies, and ceiling cavities, identifying affected areas before a single pin is driven into a wall.
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 Trimble 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.
Our Trimble inspection service covers two distinct use cases that require slightly different approaches: pre-remediation inspection (mapping an active or recent water event for claim documentation and remediation scoping) and pre-purchase or post-remediation verification inspection (confirming whether previous water damage was properly remediated or whether current conditions indicate an ongoing or previous water problem). Both use the same instrument suite and produce the same written report format, but the findings are interpreted differently for each use case.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Trimble 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 TN.
When a water damage event has just occurred in a Trimble 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 Trimble 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 Trimble 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 Trimble is distinct from air quality testing. We assess structural conditions and visible evidence — not air samples.
Below-grade spaces in Trimble properties — crawlspaces, basement areas, and below-slab conditions — are among the most common locations for chronic moisture problems to go undetected. Our Trimble 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.
When an insurance carrier requests additional documentation for a water damage claim — or when a claim has been disputed based on damage scope — our Trimble insurance documentation inspection provides the instrument-backed evidence that supports the remediation scope. Thermal images with annotations, moisture meter readings at labeled sensor points, water category determination, and written assessment of the connection between the reported event and the documented damage create a claim file that can withstand adjuster scrutiny.

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 Trimble 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 Trimble 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."
"We manage a portfolio of Trimble rental properties and COS Water Damage Restoration's inspection service is what we use every time a water event is reported, prior to any remediation starting. The inspection report maps the damage completely — it's what we give our remediation contractor as the scope of work and what we give our insurer as the damage documentation. Having a consistent, instrument-backed inspection process has eliminated the disputes we used to have about whether remediation was complete or whether the damage scope matched what we claimed."
