Moisture Mapping is an essential tool for identifying and resolving moisture-related issues within buildings. By accurately identifying areas with excessive moisture, Moisture Mapping enables facility managers and building owners to take prompt action to prevent structural damage, mold growth, and other health hazards.

How Does Moisture Mapping Work?

Moisture Detection Methods are employed to detect moisture levels in building materials, such as concrete, drywall, or wood. These methods include:

Non-Invasive Methods:

• Infrared Thermography: Infrared cameras detect temperature variations, indicating moisture presence.
• Moisture Meters: Handheld devices measure electrical conductivity to estimate moisture content.

Invasive Methods:

• Probe Insertion: Probes are inserted into building materials to directly measure moisture levels.
• Relative Humidity Sensors: Sensors are placed within materials to monitor changes in humidity.

Once moisture is detected, the data is analyzed and presented as a Moisture Map, visually representing the moisture distribution in the building. This map provides invaluable insights into problem areas and aids in developing targeted solutions.
