Moisture Mapping and Detection

Understanding Moisture Mapping

Moisture Mapping is a reliable method for identifying and locating moisture issues in residential and commercial buildings. Moisture Mapping uses advanced technology to detect moisture beneath the surface, allowing professionals to pinpoint the exact location of moisture problems, including undetectable leaks or hidden water damage.

Detection Methods

Moisture Mapping is conducted using non-invasive techniques that do not require drilling or breaking walls. Experts use specialized equipment like:

• Moisture Meters: Measure moisture content in building materials.
• Infrared Cameras: Detect temperature variations caused by moisture.
• Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): Maps subsurface moisture through electromagnetic waves.

How to Check for Moisture Under My House?

If you suspect moisture issues under your house, consider the following steps:

1. Look for Visible Signs: Check for mold, mildew, or water stains on walls, ceilings, or floors.
2. Use a Moisture Meter: Insert a moisture meter into the ground or crawl space to detect high moisture levels.
3. Hire a Professional: Contact a certified moisture inspector or Moisture Mapper for a thorough inspection and reliable detection.

By detecting moisture problems early, homeowners and building managers can take proactive steps to prevent further damage and maintain a healthy living or working environment.
