Moisture Mapping is a comprehensive survey that identifies and locates areas of excessive moisture within a building envelope. Moisture can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and other health risks. Moisture Mapping provides a detailed report of the moisture levels in your home, helping you identify and address potential problems.
### How to Locate Moisture in a House?
There are several methods used to locate moisture in a home:
#### Non-Invasive Methods:
– **Moisture Meters:** Handheld devices that measure moisture content in building materials.
– **Infrared Cameras:** Detect temperature differences indicating moisture presence.
– **Thermal Imaging:** Similar to infrared cameras, but provide more detailed images.
#### Invasive Methods:
– **Probe Measurements:** Involves inserting probes into building materials to measure moisture levels.
– **Core Sampling:** Removing a small sample of building material for laboratory analysis.
– **Hygrometers:** Placed in specific areas to measure relative humidity.
