Moisture meters can help to detect and quantify the amount of moisture actually in building material. This works well with a thermal imaging(infrared) camera to check much larger areas and isolate areas that may be a concern. As part of this process assess the building envelope. This is the roofing and exterior surfaces that keep the moisture out. We will make recommendations on needed repaire or maintenance.

We use a moisture meter to check areas around plumbing pipes, air conditioning units and ducting, bathroom toilets, and showers, and wooden components near or in contact with the ground surface. Appliances may cause water leaks or cause condensation problems that may result in elevated levels of moisture.

A professional inspector with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera is equipped to find the source of moisture and water problems in a building. Once discovered, all moisture intrusion problems must be immediately corrected before mold growth develops.
