Moisture Mapping and Detection Methods Uncovering Hidden Moisture in Your Home

Moisture Mapping is a non-invasive technique used to identify areas of high moisture content within a building or structure.

How to Locate Moisture in a House?

Several methods can be employed to detect moisture in a house:

  • Infrared Thermography: Utilizes infrared cameras to identify temperature variations indicative of moisture infiltration.
  • Microwave Moisture Detection: Employs microwaves to measure the dielectric properties of building materials, detecting areas with high moisture content.
  • Capacitance Moisture Meters: Measure the electrical capacitance of materials, which increases in the presence of moisture.
  • Visual Inspections: Trained professionals can identify signs of moisture damage, such as stains, mold, and blistering paint.

Moisture Mapping helps homeowners and contractors accurately assess the extent of moisture damage, enabling them to develop targeted solutions to prevent further structural deterioration.
