Moisture Mapping: Why It Matters in Water Damage Restoration
After water damage, understanding exactly where moisture has spread is critical. Many Draper homeowners assume the damage is limited to visible areas — but water travels fast through building materials. At EcoRestore Water Damage & Restoration, we use detailed moisture mapping to uncover hidden damage and create a targeted restoration plan.
What Is Moisture Mapping?
Moisture mapping is the process of identifying and documenting where water has infiltrated a structure. Using moisture meters and thermal imaging, we scan all surfaces in the affected area to detect moisture levels, even behind walls or under floors. The data is then plotted on a digital map to show where water is present and how far it has spread.
Why Moisture Mapping Is Important
- Prevents missed damage: Helps find water you can’t see.
- Speeds up drying: Guides technicians to focus on the wettest areas.
- Avoids future mold: Ensures complete drying of hidden areas.
- Supports insurance claims: Provides proof of extent and severity of damage.
How the Process Works
- ✅ We begin with a full inspection using moisture meters and infrared cameras.
- ✅ Readings are recorded on a floor plan or digital map of your home.
- ✅ Areas are color-coded based on moisture level (dry, wet, saturated).
- ✅ We use the map to build a customized drying and dehumidification plan.
