Moisture Testing for Commercial Properties
What is a Moisture Test in a House?
A moisture test in a house is a procedure that is performed to determine the amount of moisture present in the building materials. This is important because excessive moisture can lead to a variety of problems, including mold growth, structural damage, and health issues for occupants. Moisture testing can be performed using a variety of methods, including:
- Invasive methods: These methods involve drilling holes into the building materials to insert moisture probes. Invasive methods are the most accurate, but they can also be more expensive and time-consuming.
- Non-invasive methods: These methods involve using sensors to measure the moisture content of the building materials without damaging them. Non-invasive methods are less accurate than invasive methods, but they are also less expensive and time-consuming.
