Building Water Leak Detection | Moisture Ingress | Sunshine Coast

Registration of moisture content is especially important for a lot of processes in industry and civil engineering. In many cases moisture distribution is not homogenous because of material inhomogeneities, pores and cohesive forces between water molecules.

Coming from civil engineering applications where moisture distribution gives important information to architects and civil engineers for the elimination of the reasons of water damages and leakages, moisture mapping is a new microwave method for measuring multi-layer moisture distributions.

The core of this technology is a fast and easy method to measure moisture by microwaves using several types of reflection microwave sensing heads. While conventional methods for moisture determination are affected by other mechanical, chemical and physical properties of the material, moisture measurements on microwave basis overcome most of these disadvantages.

Microwave Applicators can be made robust, and the interaction volume between electromagnetic wave and wet material can be made large enough to allow neglection of inhomogeneities in the material or small enough to get good spatial resolution. Portable microwave moisture meters became state-of-the-art through the past two decades and have a lot of advantages for moisture measurement in civil engineering:

They;

 Enable effective moisture detection in a non-destructive manner
 Allow high measurement speed – real time moisture measurement is possible
 Are optimized for very simple acquisition of large numbers of moisture values
 Deliver real volume information of moisture content with high penetration depths in dm–range possible and interaction volumes up to several hundred litres
 Can be applied to different depth layers by choice of different microwave sensors

 Highpoint Solutions employ best-in-class moisture detection equipment to identify building water leaks, moisture ingress, and dampness issues fast, allowing you to take corrective actions to minimise damage to the building substrate and decrease overall remediation expenses.

 Saving time – One of the major benefits of applying a multi-disciplinary approach for moisture detection is that we can identify & track moisture problems much faster than any other traditional method. Not only does this save you money, but it reduces the time necessary on site to achieve a more conclusive outcome. Our non-destructive, non-intrusive inspection methods allow your daily operations to continue unaffected by our work.

 We immediately highlight any concerning moisture issues and deliver comprehensive reports within 24hrs of the inspection with recommendations for corrective actions.

Our Microwave Reflection Based Moisture Mapping system is powerful, yet portable, allowing us to deploy the technology in hard to reach areas using our rope access capabilities. The core of this technology is a fast and easy method to measure moisture by microwaves using several types of reflection microwave sensing heads. While conventional methods for moisture determination are affected by other mechanical, chemical and physical properties of the material, moisture measurements on microwave basis overcome most of these disadvantages.
