Monitoring
« Back to Glossary Index
Monitoring in water damage repair means regularly checking wet areas with tools (like moisture meters or hygrometers) to track drying progress. It’s like a doctor taking your temperature—but for your walls!
Why it’s important:
- Proves materials are drying properly (not just looking dry)
- Catches hidden dampness before mold grows
- Adjusts drying equipment (ex: “This corner needs more dehumidifiers!”)
How it works:
📊 Daily logs record moisture levels (like a progress report)
📱 High-tech tools send alerts if humidity spikes
🔍 Infrared cameras spot sneaky wet patches
Example: The crew left moisture sensors in the flooded basement and checked them every 6 hours until readings hit “dry.”
