Hidden water damage can develop behind walls, beneath flooring, and inside basements without obvious warning signs. From swollen baseboards and musty odors to undetected plumbing leaks, moisture can cause structural deterioration and create conditions for mold growth if left untreated.

On 2 Plus You Nevada, host Sarah Johns welcomes Chris Poulin of 911 Restoration to explain how homeowners can identify hidden water damage, what professional restoration specialists look for, and how moisture detection technology helps locate leaks that aren't visible to the naked eye.

Discover how 911 Restoration uses thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to identify affected areas, safely expose wet materials, and help homeowners navigate the water damage restoration and insurance claims process throughout Reno, Sparks, Lake Tahoe, and Northern Nevada.
