Building moisture
Damp areas in the roof structure, in particular in flat roofs, store the warmth from the sun for longer than intact areas. This means the roof structure cools unevenly in the evenings. Testo thermal imagers use these temperature differences to pinpoint the exact roof areas with trapped moisture or damaged insulation. Moisture damage can also occur due to blocked drains or insufficient seepage. Rising damp or penetrating water due to rain and waste water drainage being incorrectly implemented can cause damp walls. Testo thermal imagers find the cause of rising damp or penetrating rain water straight away, before it can cause major damage. This means the risk of mould formation is effectively avoided.
