Moisture mapping is a crucial process in identifying and addressing moisture issues in buildings. Moisture monitoring equipment plays a pivotal role in this process, providing accurate and reliable data to assess the extent and severity of dampness.
The primary tool used to check dampness in walls is a moisture meter. Moisture meters measure the electrical resistance or dielectric constant of materials, which changes when moisture is present. By inserting the meter’s probes into the wall, readings are obtained that indicate the moisture level. Other types of moisture monitoring equipment include:
