Why do you use thermal imaging for mapping?

Thermal cameras detect hidden moisture behind walls and floors that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Will you check inside wall cavities?

Yes, we use moisture probes to measure water migration within hidden wall cavities.

How do you establish a baseline?

We measure unaffected areas to determine what normal moisture levels should be in your home.

Is moisture mapping necessary?

Yes, it is essential to ensure no damp areas are left behind, which prevents future mould growth.

Does this process damage my walls?

No, we use non-invasive tools whenever possible to keep damage to your property to an absolute minimum.

How long does mapping take?

The time depends on the size of the area affected, but we work efficiently to assess your home.

Do you document the findings?

Yes, we create a detailed report of all moisture readings for your insurance records.

Will you check under floorboards?

Yes, we inspect sub-flooring to ensure moisture has not penetrated beneath your finished flooring materials.

Can you detect leaks early?

Yes, mapping helps us locate the source of water migration to stop further damage from occurring.

What happens after the mapping?

Once the map is complete, we design a targeted drying plan specific to your property's needs.

Is this service available in the Hunter?

Yes, we provide comprehensive moisture mapping services throughout the Hunter and surrounding regions.
