Moisture Mapping Uncovering Hidden Moisture in Your Home

Moisture Mapping and Detection Methods

Moisture mapping is a comprehensive process that identifies areas where moisture is present within a building structure. By employing various detection methods, homeowners can effectively locate and address moisture issues before they escalate into severe problems.

How to Locate Moisture in a House?

Non-Invasive Methods:

• Infrared Thermal Imaging: Detects heat patterns that indicate moisture presence by using an infrared camera.
• Moisture Meters: Measure the moisture content of building materials using electrical conductivity.

Invasive Methods:

• Probe Pins: Inserted into building materials to measure moisture content directly.
• Hygrometers: Measure the relative humidity of indoor air, which can indicate moisture problems.

By utilizing these detection methods, homeowners can identify moisture sources and take appropriate measures to prevent damage caused by moisture, such as mold growth, structural damage, and health concerns.
