Moisture Mapping and Detection Methods

Moisture Mapping aids in detecting and locating moisture issues within buildings or structures. It’s crucial for identifying sources of dampness, preventing mold growth, and maintaining a healthy indoor environment.

How Does Moisture Detection Work?

• Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT): EIT uses electrical currents to create an image of moisture distribution within a structure.
• Capacitive Sensors: Capacitive sensors detect changes in capacitance caused by moisture, providing a measure of moisture levels.
• Thermal Imaging: Thermal imaging cameras capture temperature differences, identifying areas with higher moisture levels that appear cooler.
• Moisture Meters: Handheld or inserted moisture meters directly measure moisture content in materials.
• Infrared Thermography: IR thermography uses infrared cameras to detect temperature variations, indicating the presence of moisture.

By utilizing these moisture detection methods, professionals can accurately map moisture distribution, enabling timely intervention to mitigate risks associated with excessive moisture.
