How do experienced investors view things like water/moisture in the basement of a property?

I've been there and this has been my solution. 1 fix plumbing issue2 spread lime (garden lime) thickly over affected area.3 let nature take its course our Florida sand sucks up moisture and nutrients in no time.

Suggest better underlayer using acoustical and moisture materials.While Vinyl is very tough and affordable, people will catch on that they used recycled vinyl (car interior) and limestone.

Windows should be used for lighting only though, ventilation should always be done via exhaust fan, opening a shower window just creates more moisture/steam etc and creates additional problems.

Moisture and other contaminants that can get into a refrigerant system, if its not evacuated properly can severely shorten the life of a compressor.Typical condenser costs 1,000 or so and proper install can be 6 to 8 hours depending on the system conditions.  

You avoid some major potential financial problems with termites, joist repair, piers, mold, moisture,etc.  

A simple way to know that the members have been dried enough is to invest in a non-intrusive moisture meter and gauge the moisture content.

The infrared helps you identify moisture mainly so you have a better idea than visual inspection on leak detection.My biggest concern is that this company could be out there inspecting your property, notice a rodent problem or leak etc. and then not tell you about it because you didn't pony up the extra $150.

.-  Basement has an obvious moisture problem.-  Subfloors are saturated with moisture at some parts, leading to wood rot, fungus/mold, and obvious safety issues.-  The floor unit above the basement's problem site has a concerning issue with floor sloping/alignment.
