One morning I came downstairs to my kitchen to see the ceiling on the floor. We had a plumbing leak in the ceiling space and for several hours without being noticed. Water had been flowing into my newly renovated kitchen!
After turning off the water, I called my insurance company and local flood damage restoration company. By the time the local company got to my house, the kitchen’s engineered wood floor had already started to deform. The contractor removed it and out came a home inspection tool I’d hoped to see -- a hand held moisture meter.
