Moisture Mapping A Comprehensive Guide to Detecting and Resolving Dampness

Understanding Moisture Mapping

Moisture mapping is an essential technique used to identify and locate moisture issues within a building’s structure. By employing a systematic approach, it allows professionals to accurately pinpoint sources of dampness and establish appropriate remediation measures.

How to Detect Dampness in a Wall

Detecting dampness in a wall is crucial for preventing damage and ensuring building integrity. Here are several effective methods:

  • Visual Inspection: Examine the wall for visible signs of moisture, such as stains, discoloration, or peeling paint.
  • Moisture Meter: Use a moisture meter to measure the moisture content of the wall.
  • Infrared Thermography: Employ infrared thermography to visualize temperature variations in the wall, identifying areas of moisture presence.
