Moisture Mapping An Overview

Moisture Monitoring Equipment

Moisture Mapping is a valuable process for identifying and evaluating moisture problems in buildings.

It involves using specialized equipment to detect and measure moisture levels in various building materials and components.

What equipment is used for moisture analysis?

  • Moisture Meters: Non-destructive instruments that measure moisture content in building materials using electrical impedance or capacitance sensors.
  • Relative Humidity (RH) sensors: Measure the relative humidity in the air, providing an indirect indication of moisture levels.
  • Thermal Imaging Cameras: Detect and visualize temperature differences that can indicate moisture presence or movement.
  • Infrared Moisture Meters: Use infrared sensors to detect moisture beneath the surface of materials.
  • Nuclear Densometers: Measure density of building materials, providing an indication of moisture content.

Conclusion

Choosing the appropriate equipment for moisture analysis depends on factors like the type of building material, desired accuracy, and budget. Consulting with a qualified professional is recommended to determine the best equipment for specific Moisture Mapping needs.
