Moisture Mapping is a crucial technique employed to determine the distribution and movement of moisture within building structures. It involves employing specialized equipment to identify areas with excessive moisture levels, enabling targeted interventions to prevent moisture-related issues. Moisture Mapping plays a vital role in preserving the integrity of buildings, enhancing indoor air quality, and safeguarding occupants’ health.
A range of sophisticated equipment is utilized in Moisture Mapping to accurately measure moisture levels. These include:
A device that measures the moisture content in the air is called a hygrometer. Hygrometers are essential moisture monitoring equipment that measure the amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere, expressed as relative humidity. Relative humidity determines the air’s capacity to hold moisture and is a critical factor in Moisture Mapping.
