Destructive moisture imaging is an advanced technique used to locate and assess moisture intrusion accurately. It involves opening up building components, such as drywall or flooring, to access and inspect the underlying structure.
Accuracy and Reliability
Destructive moisture imaging offers the most accurate method of moisture detection compared to other methods like moisture meters or infrared cameras. By examining the actual building materials, it provides direct evidence of moisture presence and its extent.
Expertise and Experience Required
Destructive moisture imaging requires specialized equipment and trained professionals. Proper protocols must be followed to minimize damage to the building structure and ensure accurate results. A qualified moisture inspector can provide a comprehensive report on the findings, including recommendations for remediation.
