Moisture mapping is a non-invasive technique that assists in identifying areas with excessive moisture content within a structure. It involves utilizing specialized equipment to accurately measure moisture levels in various materials, including walls, floors, and ceilings. Moisture mapping provides valuable insights into the extent of moisture intrusion and aids in determining the underlying causes, allowing for targeted remediation strategies.
### Miscellaneous
#### Will a Moisture Test Detect Mold?
Moisture mapping can indirectly indicate potential mold growth by detecting areas with high moisture content. While a moisture test alone cannot definitively identify mold, it can provide a strong indication of areas at high risk of mold infestation. Additional testing methods, such as air sampling or surface swabbing, are typically required to confirm the presence and type of mold.
