Prone Areas

Water damage is a common problem that can affect homes and businesses alike. It is important to be aware of the areas of your property that are most susceptible to water damage so that you can take steps to prevent it.

How to Track Moisture Content?

There are a few different ways to track moisture content. One common method is to use a moisture meter. Moisture meters can be used to measure the moisture content of wood, drywall, and other materials. Another method of tracking moisture content is to use a hygrometer. Hygrometers measure the relative humidity of the air. High relative humidity levels can indicate that there is a problem with moisture in your home or business.
