You Checked the Material. Have You Checked the Meter?
Two important things to be checking the instrument’s response, and selecting the correct calibration or settings for the material.
How?

Good morning Coach8 followers!

Tuesdays for many years has been a day that starts with early morning meetings with the S500 IICRC - Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification consensus body (CB).

If you’re not aware the IICRC S500 6th Edition has been underway for a couple of years now and is right into the meaty stuff! These standards have to be reviewed as per ANSI and are very important for all of us especially now!
You too can get involved.

Have an amazing day!

EAT. SLEEP.RESTORE.REPEAT!

A Higher Reading. What Are You Actually Detecting?

So you’re scanning a timber floor, and suddenly the moisture meter reading jumps.

Does that mean you’ve found wetter timber?

How Deep Are You Actually Measuring?

Now we need to consider whether your measurement method is actually assessing the material where that moisture may remain.

During drying, the exposed face may have a different moisture content from the lower part of the board.
Different pins, different readings?

The Building Looks Right. Why Is the Assembly Still Wet?

The AS IICRC S500 recognises low-evaporation materials and assemblies. A Class 4 water intrusion involves significant water absorption into those materials or assemblies that release moisture slowly.

If your monitoring does not confirm satisfactory progress, the AS IICRC S500 says restorers should adjust the drying plan. Why?
This video shows how and why.

Should you open the property up—or close it and start dehumidifying?
Early in a drying project, the indoor humidity ratio can be substantially higher than the outdoors. Once safety and contamination controls allow it, exchanging that humid indoor air for lower-humidity-ratio outdoor air, can assist in the removal of the initial vapour load. You can’t know that without taking measurements.
What is the difference in drying systems?
