Defining the Affected Area
Moisture mapping converts a water loss into measurable data. We record moisture content readings at fixed, repeatable points across every affected material, plot them against a dry standard established from unaffected material of the same type in the same structure, and draw the true boundary of the wet area. Water migrates by capillary action along framing, under flooring and through insulation, so the visible wet spot is almost never the real perimeter.
