Moisture Mapping

Moisture Mapping is the process of identifying areas of moisture in a building or other structure. This can be done using a variety of methods, including:

Visual Inspection

This is the simplest method of moisture mapping, and involves looking for signs of moisture damage, such as stains, mold, or peeling paint.

Infrared Thermography

This method uses an infrared camera to detect areas of heat loss, which can be an indication of moisture problems.

Electrical Impedance Tomography

This method uses electrical currents to create a map of the moisture content of a structure.

How does moisture detection work?

Moisture detection devices typically work by measuring the electrical resistance of a material. When a material is wet, its electrical resistance decreases. This change in resistance can be used to determine the moisture content of the material.

There are a variety of moisture detection devices available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some devices are designed to measure the moisture content of a surface, while others can measure the moisture content of a material below the surface.

Moisture detection devices are used in a variety of applications, including:

  • Building inspections
  • Water damage restoration
  • Manufacturing
  • Agriculture

Moisture detection devices can be a valuable tool for identifying and resolving moisture problems.
