Blocking Membranes

Blocking membranes play a pivotal role in preventing moisture penetration, ensuring the structural integrity of your home. These membranes are skillfully engineered to withstand water vapor, thereby inhibiting moisture accumulation within the building envelope. This proactive measure effectively safeguards against potential structural damage and eliminates the threat of dangerous mold growth.

Locating Moisture in a House

Accurately pinpointing the source of moisture in a house is a crucial step in the remediation process. Various techniques can be employed to effectively identify problem areas:

  • Visual Inspection: Carefully examine the exterior and interior walls, ceilings, and floors for signs of water damage, such as discoloration, peeling paint, or mold growth.
  • Moisture Meter: These handheld devices can detect hidden moisture beneath surfaces, providing precise measurements to gauge the extent of the problem.
  • Infrared Camera: This advanced tool uses thermal imaging to identify areas where moisture has accumulated, even when it is not visible to the naked eye.

By utilizing these methods, you can accurately locate the source of moisture and take appropriate action to resolve the issue, preventing further damage to your home.
