Moisture Mapping and Detection Methods

What is Moisture Mapping?

Moisture mapping is a non-destructive testing method used to detect and map moisture content within building materials.

How does moisture detection work?

Moisture detection methods utilize various technologies to measure moisture content:

  • Electrical Resistance: Measures the electrical resistance of a material to determine moisture levels.
  • Capacitance: Determines moisture content by measuring changes in the capacitance of a material.
  • Infrared Thermography: Detects moisture by identifying temperature variations caused by moisture absorption or evaporation.
  • Acoustic: Utilizes sound waves to analyze changes in material density, indicating the presence of moisture.
  • Microwave: Sends microwave signals into a material to measure moisture levels based on their absorption and reflection properties.
