Philadelphia-area leak-detection specialist brings more than 20 years of construction and diagnostic experience to the preservation community.
PHILADELPHIA, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moisture Master Pros, a consulting and diagnostic firm specializing in rain-related leak detection and water intrusion, has become an Alliance Partner Member of the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia.
The company was recently featured in an Alliance Partner Spotlight distributed through the Preservation Alliance’s member newsletter. The feature highlighted Moisture Master Pros’ approach to identifying hidden moisture problems before they become larger restoration issues and documented its completed masonry restoration work at Philadelphia’s historic Binder Building.
Founded by owner and president Joshua Kent, Moisture Master Pros combines field investigation, FLIR thermal imaging, moisture diagnostics and building-envelope knowledge to help owners, property managers and preservation professionals identify the true source of water entry. After determining the source, the company develops practical repair recommendations that consider the structure’s existing materials, architectural character and long-term performance.
“Historic buildings cannot be approached with guesswork,” Kent said. “You have to understand how water is moving through the structure, what materials are being affected and how the repair will influence the building over time. Joining the Preservation Alliance allows us to contribute our leak-detection and moisture-diagnostic experience to a community that shares our commitment to protecting Greater Philadelphia’s older buildings.”
The Binder Building at 35 South 13th Street demonstrates the connection between restoration craftsmanship and moisture protection. Its detailed masonry, historic facade and distinctive architectural character required careful attention to masonry conditions, exterior-envelope performance, water-intrusion risks and the protection of original materials from long-term deterioration.
Kent began his construction career in 2000 and has developed extensive experience in building-envelope investigation, thermography, moisture diagnostics, mold inspection and remediation, and repair planning. Moisture Master Pros serves residential, commercial and historic properties throughout Philadelphia, its Pennsylvania suburbs, South Jersey and Northern Delaware.

Kent is available for media interviews regarding historic-building moisture problems, rain-related leak detection, thermal imaging, building-envelope failures and preventive maintenance.
