17.6 Typical moisture measurement and documentation procedure

17.6.1 General
The following procedure can form the basis for other procedures using Extech or FLIR
meters and infrared cameras.
17.6.2 Procedure
Follow this procedure:
1. Use the infrared camera to identify any potential damp areas behind walls and
ceilings.
2. Use the moisture meter to measure the moisture levels at various suspect locations.
3. When a spot of particular interest is located, store the moisture reading in the mois-
ture meter's memory and identify the measurement spot with a handprint or other
thermal identifying marker.
4. Recall the reading from the meter memory. The moisture meter will now continuously
transmit this reading to the infrared camera.
