Moisture mapping is a non-invasive technique employed to detect and locate moisture beneath subfloor surfaces. This advanced process involves the utilization of specialized equipment to map the moisture distribution, providing valuable insights into the extent and severity of moisture-related issues.
### Miscellaneous: Will a Moisture Test Detect Mold?
While moisture mapping can effectively detect moisture presence, it’s important to note that it does not directly indicate the presence of mold. Mold growth requires specific conditions, including the presence of moisture, organic matter, and a suitable temperature range.
Conducting a separate mold test is recommended to confirm the presence of mold, as certain species may be present even when moisture levels are within acceptable ranges. It is advisable to contact a qualified mold professional for proper identification and remediation.
