Moisture Mapping and Detection Methods

Moisture mapping is a process of identifying areas of excessive moisture within a building. By using specialized equipment, professionals can create a visual representation of moisture levels, helping to diagnose and resolve dampness issues.

How to Detect Dampness in a Wall

• Visual Inspection: Look for signs of water stains, mold growth, or peeling paint.
• Moisture Meter: Measure moisture levels in the wall using a moisture meter inserted directly into the surface.
• Infrared Thermography: Utilize an infrared camera to detect temperature differences caused by moisture buildup.
• Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT): Non-invasively scan the wall using electrical currents and monitor changes in impedance due to moisture presence.
• Hygrometer: Place a hygrometer in the vicinity of the wall to measure relative humidity levels.

It’s crucial to address dampness promptly to prevent further damage, health hazards, and reduced energy efficiency. Contact a qualified professional for accurate moisture mapping and reliable solutions to eliminate dampness and ensure a healthy indoor environment.
