Moisture Mapping Uncovering Water Intrusion in Your Property

Moisture Mapping

Moisture mapping is an essential diagnostic tool for detecting and locating sources of water intrusion in buildings and other structures.

Moisture Detection Methods

Moisture mapping involves using various methods to identify areas of high moisture content, such as:

  • Infrared thermography: Thermal cameras can detect temperature differences caused by moisture evaporation, revealing potential water intrusion.
  • Electrical impedance: Sensors measure electrical resistance to pinpoint areas with increased moisture content.
  • Moisture meters: Handheld devices measure moisture levels in building materials.

How Does Moisture Detection Work?

Moisture detection methods work by:

  • Infrared thermography: Thermal cameras capture infrared radiation emitted by surfaces, and moisture-saturated areas appear cooler.
  • Electrical impedance: Moisture increases electrical conductivity, resulting in lower resistance measurements.
  • Moisture meters: Contact or pin-type sensors measure electrical resistance or capacitance to determine moisture levels.

Moisture mapping provides valuable information to identify and remediate areas of water intrusion, preventing further damage and improving the overall indoor environment.
