Article Summary: 

Moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras are commonly used tools to detect moisture in buildings. Moisture meters measure the percentage of water in a substance, and there are two types: pinless and pin-type. Thermal imaging cameras detect differences in surface temperature, and areas affected by moisture appear cooler on the screen. Both devices are used together to inspect spaces more quickly and with more precise results. The readings of these devices are interdependent, and a strategic plan can be developed to solve the problem.
