What is the humidity test?
The
moisture test measures the amount of water in the house structure and helps to identify water damage within the house. The construction for construction usually has a humidity content of 19 percent. Moisture above this level can cause the wood to reduce or reduce after installation. As the wood dries, the level of moisture settles between seven and 13 percent. The humidity test is usually performed on the outer wall and consists of a humidity and probe meter.
usually visual examination of the house reveals the potential areas of water damage. Once the area is suspected of excess moisture, the moisture test is performed. There are several different methods to measure the water content in the structure. Inserts the test probe into the holes until they touch the contact with the sheathing and perform the measurement. He then fills the holes by sealing. Testing exterior probes is adaptable because the inspector can assess the damage to the sheath while performing the humidity test. The interior probe test approaches the sheeting of the sheetrock barrier and par through two smallé holes. The probes are inserted into the holes and the measurement is performed during cladding. Then the holes are filled with compost of the pad.
Another way to detect moisture in the structure is radioscopic scanning. This method is usually usable for vinyl or wood and is usually performed to find potential moisture areas. A scanner is used to determine the density of the material inside the wall. It is only a preliminary test, which is usually followed by a probe testing to measure the moisture content.
Infrared PHOTOGRAPH is another tool used by domestic inspectors to determine the amount of humidity in the house. It identifies areas inside the walls, roof or ceiling that have a different temperature than the surrounding areas. The temperature difference in the structure may indicate the presence of moisture, but is not always accurate. It also does not determine the actual moisture content.
The hole range is another tool used by the inspectors to checkbones. It provides a small observation area that explores the inner wall cavity to determine the extent of water damage. Signs of rot are monitored by testing the probe.
