Moisture Mapping is a valuable tool for homeowners, contractors, and inspectors to identify areas of high humidity or moisture penetration within a structure. By mapping out these areas, moisture mapping helps to pinpoint potential water damage, mold growth, and structural issues before they become serious problems.

How to Locate Moisture in a House?

Several methods can be used to locate moisture in a house. These include:

• Moisture Meters: Handheld devices that measure the moisture content of building materials. There are two types of moisture meters: pin-type meters, which measure moisture directly, and non-invasive meters, which measure moisture without damaging the surface.
• Infrared Cameras: Thermal imaging cameras can detect moisture by sensing the temperature difference between wet and dry areas. Wet areas are typically cooler than dry areas, so they will appear as dark spots on the thermal image.
• Visual Inspection: Experienced moisture mapping professionals can also detect moisture by visually inspecting a property for signs of water damage, such as mold growth, peeling paint, or bubbling wallpaper.
