Moisture Mapping and Detection Methods

Moisture mapping, also known as moisture detection, refers to the process of identifying areas of excess moisture within a building or structure. This process is valuable for preventing and resolving moisture-related issues, such as mold growth, structural damage, and poor indoor air quality.

How Does Moisture Mapping Work?

Moisture mapping can be carried out using various techniques, including:

  • Infrared Thermography
  • Involves using an infrared camera to detect variations in surface temperatures, indicating potential moisture accumulation.

  • Moisture Meters
  • Employs probes or sensors to measure the moisture content of building materials, providing precise readings.

  • Electrical Impedance Tomography
  • Uses electrical currents to create a detailed moisture distribution map within a structure, providing a non-invasive approach.
