Moisture mapping is a non-invasive technique used to identify moisture problems in buildings, including the presence of mold. It is performed by a trained professional, using specialized equipment to measure moisture levels in various areas of a structure.
Directly, no. Moisture testing does not specifically detect mold. However, it can indirectly indicate the potential presence of mold by identifying areas with elevated moisture levels.
Mold thrives in moist environments, often growing on surfaces with water damage or areas with poor ventilation. By identifying areas with excessive moisture, moisture mapping can help homeowners and property managers pinpoint potential mold problems and take appropriate action.
