MOISTURE METER SPOT CHECKS
MOISTURE METER INSPECTIONS
Moisture meter inspections use specialized electronic instruments to detect hidden water intrusion and dampness in building materials. Unlike surface checks or visual inspections, moisture meters allow for precise, non-invasive measurement of water content inside walls, floors, ceilings, and structural components. These are great add-ons for spot check follow-ups after infrared survey scanning.
At Envirotrak Analytics Ltd., we use both pin-type and pin-less moisture meters to assess a wide variety of substrates—including drywall, wood, concrete, and insulation. This dual-technology approach ensures accuracy while minimizing disruption to building surfaces.
Why Moisture Detection Matters
Moisture is one of the most common and destructive issues affecting buildings. If left undetected, it can:
Compromise structural integrity – Wood rot, warped flooring, or weakened foundations.
Trigger mould growth – Damp conditions encourage fungal contamination, impacting both property and occupant health.
Undermine indoor air quality – Hidden dampness can lead to microbial activity, releasing spores and mycotoxins into the air.
Cause costly repairs – Small leaks or seepage can escalate into large-scale damage if not identified early.
Applications of Moisture Meter Inspections
Leak Detection – Pinpoint hidden leaks in roofs, plumbing, or foundations.
Moisture Mapping – Chart moisture distribution across surfaces to identify the extent of water intrusion.
Post-Flood or Restoration Verification – Confirm that affected areas have dried properly after remediation or storm events.
Preventive Maintenance – Monitor high-risk areas regularly to reduce long-term risks and repair costs.
