02 / Moisture & timber

Put moisture readings in context

Two different tasks: investigating a building and preparing timber or a floor. Choose the one you are working on.

A wall or building

Use patterns and observations to guide an investigation. A high electrical reading alone does not establish a leak, mould or a defect.

Timber or flooring

Record the material, instrument settings and environment. Installation decisions need the requirements for the actual flooring system.

Shared measurement basics

Bring a record, not just a number

Download a blank wall reading record or a blank timber and floor record. Both include fields for the instrument, mode, unit, location, conditions and uncertainty. They contain no measurements or universal pass/fail limits.

Why these are separate routes

A homeowner investigating a plastered wall is asking about possible causes and next steps. A floor installer is checking a product and substrate against a specified installation method. Both need careful measurement, but their evidence and decisions differ. WallProof keeps these routes distinct while sharing the explanation of materials and scales.
