Stucco Moisture Testing
|
Many homes and commercial buildings in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area built with stucco. Stucco wall coverings can be problematic if installed incorrectly or lacks proper maintenance.
Moisture in stucco can spread through the covering and throughout the wooden wall cavities. The only way to truly discover if there is elevated moisture is by using an invasive moisture meter. |

Our stucco testing method is to drill small holes and then to probe the wall with a specialized moisture meter. The moisture meter will detect either a normal level of moisture or an elevated level of moisture. All the holes are then filled with a matching sealant. The testing does not cause damage to the home.
