Moisture Mapping and Detection Methods

Introduction

Moisture mapping is a crucial process for identifying and locating areas of excess moisture in buildings and structures. Accurate moisture detection methods are essential for effective moisture control and prevention.

How Does Moisture Detection Work?

Methods for Moisture Detection

• Infrared Thermography: Utilizes thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature variations caused by moisture.
• Electrical Impedance Scanning: Measures electrical resistance changes in materials to indicate moisture presence.
• Microwave Scanning: Uses microwaves to detect moisture content in materials and structures.
• Hygrometer: Measures the relative humidity in the air to determine moisture build-up.
• Visual Inspection: Detects visible signs of moisture, such as stains or mold growth.
