The location of excess moisture and decay behind an Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) can be difficult and near impossible, as evidence of this moisture and decay may not be visible on either side of the wall. Excess moisture can be hidden and trapped in the substrate and within the thickness of the wall. If these conditions are allowed to continue the moisture will increase as will the rot and decay eventually leading to possible failure of the cladding system and the structure. Also wet insulation loses its thermal value resulting in unnecessary heat loss or gain and thermal movement in the structure. So in the interest of all concerned, early detection of these problems, or potential problems and corrective remedial action makes good economic sense.

Wet Wall Detector

NON-DESTRUCTIVE MOISTURE DETECTION FOR EXTERIOR INSULATION AND FINISH SYSTEMS

The Wet Wall Detector has been specially designed for the detection, location, and tracking of excess moisture within and behind EIFS.

The Wet Wall Detector is the latest, most practical and useful moisture meter you can have when conducting a moisture survey on buildings with EIFS claddings.

Benefits: Designed specifically for EIFS claddings. Will read through fibre-reinforced lamina and exterior insulation. For non-destructive moisture evaluation of EIFS. Two sensitivity ranges for lighter and thicker systems. For tracing moisture back to source. Fast and easy to operate. Instant clear readings. Light-weight hand-held and battery operated. Inexpensive to purchase and operate. Not for Stucco or hardcoat systems with metal mesh .
