Alerting Homeowners to Moisture Problems

Moisture in a house can lead to a host of problems, from mold and mildew to structural damage. That’s why it’s important for homeowners to be able to locate moisture problems early on so they can take steps to fix them.

How to Locate Moisture in a House

There are a few different ways to locate moisture in a house:

• **Visual Inspection:** Look for signs of moisture, such as water stains, mold, or mildew.
• **Moisture Meter:** A moisture meter can be used to measure the moisture content of building materials.
• **Infrared Camera:** An infrared camera can be used to detect moisture by picking up on the heat that is released when water evaporates.

Once you have located moisture in your home, it’s important to take steps to fix the problem. This may involve repairing leaks, improving ventilation, or using a dehumidifier.
