Moisture Master Pros Joins Preservation Alliance for Historic Building Care

The collaboration aims to mitigate the long-term degradation of historic structures by integrating advanced diagnostic tools with traditional restoration techniques. Led by Joshua Kent, the firm utilizes FLIR thermal imaging and field investigations to pinpoint moisture pathways that often evade standard inspections. This methodology was recently demonstrated during the masonry restoration of the historic Binder Building at 35 South 13th Street.

Kent emphasizes that protecting older architecture requires moving beyond guesswork to understand the specific interactions between original materials and environmental exposure. By joining the Preservation Alliance, the firm intends to provide property managers and restoration professionals with data-driven repair recommendations. These strategies prioritize the preservation of architectural character while ensuring the building-envelope remains resilient against future water damage. The firm serves a broad region including Philadelphia, its Pennsylvania suburbs, South Jersey, and Northern Delaware.
