Moisture Testing & Mapping
Precise measurement and mapping of moisture levels to determine water damage extent and guide remediation efforts.
Quantify Water Damage with Precision
Moisture testing provides the quantitative data needed to understand the full extent of water damage, track drying progress, and verify the effectiveness of remediation efforts. Our comprehensive moisture mapping creates a clear picture of water migration patterns and affected areas.
Types of Moisture Testing
Surface Moisture Detection
Non-invasive scanning of wall, floor, and ceiling surfaces
Pin Moisture Meters
Direct measurement of moisture content in wood and drywall
Pinless Moisture Meters
Non-destructive moisture detection through electromagnetic fields
Hygrometer Testing
Relative humidity and dew point measurements
Materials We Test
- Drywall and plaster surfaces
- Wood framing and subflooring
- Concrete and masonry
- Insulation materials
- Flooring systems
- Ceiling assemblies
Our Testing Process
Baseline Establishment
Test unaffected areas to establish normal moisture levels
Systematic Testing
Grid-pattern moisture testing of affected and adjacent areas
Data Recording
Document moisture readings with location coordinates and material types
Moisture Mapping
Create visual maps showing moisture distribution and migration patterns
Understanding Moisture Readings
Moisture Content Ranges
Normal (0-15%)
Typical moisture levels for most building materials
Elevated (16-19%)
Above normal, monitor for potential issues
High (20-24%)
Likely water damage, investigation needed
Saturated (25%+)
Significant water damage, immediate action required
