Moisture Mapping is a crucial process for identifying and locating areas of excessive moisture within a structure. Moisture can cause significant damage to a building's structural integrity and indoor air quality. Effective Moisture Mapping allows for timely intervention to prevent further deterioration. ### How Does Moisture Detection Work? Moisture Detection involves various techniques to identify areas of moisture buildup: - **Infrared Thermography:** This method uses infrared cameras to detect temperature differences caused by moisture presence. - **Hygrometry:** Hygrometers measure relative humidity levels, providing insights into potential moisture accumulation. - **Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT):** EIT involves passing electrical currents through a structure to map moisture content. - **Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR):** NMR utilizes magnetic fields and radio waves to detect and quantify moisture distribution. - **Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR):** GPR employs radar waves to identify moisture beneath the surface, such as in walls and floors.
