Diagnostic guides
Practical workflows adapted to specific areas and investigation goals.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the attic
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to roof deck, insulation, ducts and ceiling penetrations.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the basement
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to below-grade walls, floor edges, drains and stored materials.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the bathroom
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to showers, drains, seals, extract ventilation and wet-room layers.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the bedroom
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to overnight occupancy, closed doors, cold corners and windows.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the crawl space
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to ground cover, joists, vents, ducts and foundation walls.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the exterior wall
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to cladding, drainage plane, insulation and interior finish.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the kitchen
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to sinks, appliances, cooking moisture and concealed connections.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the laundry room
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to washer connections, dryer exhaust, drains and humidity.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the roof
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to coverings, flashings, penetrations, drainage and wind exposure.
Comparing condensation with leakage in the window
Use temperature and trigger timing to separate two moisture mechanisms. This guide adapts the method to glass, frame, seals, flashing, sill and surrounding wall.
