Moisture Mapping is a comprehensive approach to identifying and addressing moisture issues within buildings. It involves meticulous documentation and analysis of moisture levels to establish a detailed understanding of water sources, movement, and potential consequences.

Moisture Analysis and Measurement

Accurate moisture analysis is crucial for effective Moisture Mapping. Several methods are used to determine moisture content, each with its advantages and limitations.

Pin-type Moisture Meters

These handheld devices measure electrical resistance to estimate moisture content in wood and other materials.

Relative Humidity Sensors

These devices measure the amount of water vapor in the air, providing insights into indoor humidity levels.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging cameras detect variations in temperature, which can indicate moisture presence in hidden areas like walls and ceilings.

What is the Best Measure of Moisture?

Selecting the best moisture measurement technique depends on the specific application and conditions. Some factors to consider include

• Material type
• Depth of moisture penetration
• Environmental conditions
• Accuracy and precision requirements
