Moisture Mapping is the process of identifying and measuring moisture content in building materials. Moisture Mapping can be used to identify sources of moisture, track moisture movement, and assess the extent of moisture damage.
There are a variety of moisture monitoring equipment that can be used for Moisture Mapping, including:
The best moisture monitoring equipment for a particular application will depend on the type of building material being measured, the accuracy and precision required, and the budget. For example, pin-type moisture meters are typically the most accurate and precise, but they can also be the most expensive. Microwave moisture meters are less expensive, but they may not be as accurate or precise as pin-type moisture meters. Capacitance moisture meters are a good choice for measuring moisture content in non-conductive materials, such as wood and drywall. Infrared moisture meters can be used to measure moisture content in a variety of materials, but they may not be as accurate or precise as other types of moisture meters.
