What is Moisture Mapping?
Moisture mapping is a non-destructive testing technique used to measure the moisture content in wood products. This process involves scanning the wood surface with a specialized tool that generates a visual representation of moisture levels.
Importance of Wood Moisture Content
Wood moisture content directly impacts the structural integrity, durability, and usability of wood products. Excess moisture can lead to warping, cracking, and decay, while insufficient moisture can result in brittleness and loss of strength.
Moisture Mapping Process
During moisture mapping, the technician scans the wood surface with a moisture meter. The meter emits radio waves or microwaves into the wood, and the reflected signals are analyzed to determine the moisture content. The results are displayed on a color-coded map, where different colors represent varying moisture levels.
Benefits of Moisture Mapping
- Provides accurate and reliable measurements of moisture content
- Identifies moisture-related issues in wood structures and products
- Assesses the extent of water damage and leakage
- Facilitates the selection of appropriate remediation measures

Moisture mapping has numerous applications in various industries, including:
- Timber inspection
- Building maintenance and restoration
- Forensic damage investigations
- Quality control in wood processing
