Moisture/Leak Detection Recommendation?

Hey guys - we've been in our current house for about 1.5 years and about 14 months ago had a slab leak in the wall between the garage and the living room that ended up ruining some hardwood floors and causing a ton of grief before we got it fixed. Luckily that is all repaired and behind us, but we now have what appears to be another small leak from our shower that is affecting some floors on the other side of that wall. Additionally, there are some places that we feel like the floor is starting to swell again.

In general, we just don't trust the job that was done plumbing. The home is about 17 years old, but there had been a fire a few years back and we actually bought it from a company that did the reno. Our inspector said they did a tremendous job, but we've seen some plumbing issues and are now a little quick to concern on that front.

Anyhow, we've got a guy that has been great for pinpointing small leaks when you can see water or know the general area, but I wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations for anyone that can come in just sort of do a survey of our entire bottom floor and give us a rundown on where there may be issues with moisture. In short, we want to avoid having to call somebody out for every little place, especially since some places are just where we feel like the floor is swelling a bit and not actually places we're seeing moisture.

Is this something for somebody like ServePro?

TLDR: who should we call that can check moisture levels on the entire first floor so we can get an idea of where we may have issues with water under the hardwood?
