Moisture Mapping A Vital Tool for Building Maintenance

Moisture Mapping provides comprehensive moisture analysis and measurement, aiding in the timely detection and rectification of moisture issues in buildings. Moisture Mapping can be carried out using various techniques, including the use of moisture meters and infrared thermography.

Moisture Analysis and Measurement

• Moisture meters measure the electrical resistance of a material to determine its moisture content, with higher resistance indicating lower moisture content.


• Infrared thermography uses thermal imaging to identify areas of high moisture, as these areas will appear cooler on the thermal image.

How to Check the Moisture Content of Wood Without a Meter?

• Touch Test: Feel the wood for any wetness or dampness. Wet wood will feel cool and may leave a mark on your hand.


• Visual Inspection: Look for signs of moisture damage, such as discoloration, swelling, or mold growth.


• Smell Test: Take a deep sniff of the wood. A musty or sour smell can indicate moisture damage.

Regular Moisture Mapping can prevent costly repairs, minimize health risks associated with mold and mildew, and ensure the longevity of your building. Contact a qualified Moisture Mapping professional to schedule an assessment today.
