I don't know as much about WD any more. I can tell you the reasons I stopped doing it and started referring other companies.
1. Equipment - I only had a couple fans and a dehum and a normal moisture meter
2. COnstruction knowledge - need to be able to rip apart walls, the baseboard of cabinets, etc.
3. 24 hr on call
4. Just me.
I took a class with Steve Swan and at that time I was doing small WD jobs. But being as I work by myself and lacked the equipment, and the fact that I only got a few calls a year, I was sitting there in class thinking "I missed that on the last job, I missed that, I didn't even think to do that!" I found I was forgetting what I learned by the time I would get the next call. Plus with all the mold issues that were starting, I just didn't want to deal with the liability. Easier to refer it to "specialists" that do that work all week long.
