Introduction

Moisture Mapping is a process used to identify and locate areas of moisture or water damage in buildings and other structures. It is often used to assess the extent of damage after a flood or leak, or to identify potential areas of concern before they become major problems.

How does moisture detection work?

There are a variety of different methods that can be used to detect moisture, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

• Visual inspection: This is the most basic method of moisture detection, and involves simply looking for signs of water damage, such as stains, mold, or peeling paint.
• Infrared thermography: This method uses an infrared camera to detect areas of heat buildup, which can indicate the presence of moisture.
• Moisture meters: These devices measure the electrical resistance of a material, which can be used to determine its moisture content.
• Acoustic leak detection: This method uses a sensitive microphone to detect the sound of water leaking through a pipe or other surface.

The specific moisture detection method used will depend on the specific circumstances and the type of structure being inspected.
