SPECIALIZED SERVICES
Non-invasive Moisture Test
The non-invasive moisture test requires a mixture of building construction knowledge (old
and new), a keen eye for risk areas and use of modern technology and certified training
(Trotec T650, Trotec EC60V infrared camera). The combination of these allows Innohome to
locate areas of concern without any damage to the building.
Non-invasive moisture test meter T650S
The T650 is a professional instrument for fast, non-destructive determination of moisture
content distributions in areas up to a depth of 4 cm from the surface. As a quality
instrument that is "made in Germany" the T650 is impressive in terms of its digital precision
without the disadvantage of drift in measured values exhibited by comparable analogue
instruments.
3. Damp and dry wall and floor areas can be detected by permanent real time display of the
measured values. In addition, the device is suitable for preliminary inspection of the maturity of
building materials in CM measurements.
Invasive Moisture Test
Invasive moisture testing is required when all non-invasive testing has been completed. This
can be achieved by minimum intrusion (drilling a few small holes) and measuring moisture
content levels in the defined area (holes can be filled). If data suggests a problem with the
owner’s permission surgical removal of interior or exterior location can be achieved. At this
stage a report on damage and repair cost can be obtained from Innohome.
MMS 2 - Complete Protimeter Moisture Measurement System
The moisture you cannot see matters most when cleaning and restoring a property after water
damage from storms, floods or fires. From hidden mould to unseen structural damage,
undetected moisture damages health and property and its oversight can create liability. That’s
why the right moisture meter makes all the difference. The Protimeter MMS2, the latest
addition to GE’s Protimeter product line, is a 4-in-1 instrument, ergonomically designed for
easy one-handed operation in measuring moisture in materials in buildings and related
structures. It can measure surface moisture and moisture below a surface, as well as acting as a
hygrometer to measure ambient air humidity.
4. The addition of an infra-red thermometer allows the difference between dew point and
surface temperature to be calculated, as well as a wide range of other important psychometric
parameters. The new instrument will help building professionals such as surveyors,
inspectors and architects to assess building moisture levels during new build and
refurbishing activities and assist in the diagnoses of moisture-related problems in existing
buildings.
Thermal Graphic Infra-red Camera Test
Thermal imaging camera EC60V has a high thermal sensitivity and a high degree of accuracy.
It’s image sensor has a detector resolution of up to 160 x 120 measuring spots and a thermal
sensitivity of 0.08 ºC which enable to create fully-radiometric thermal images within a
temperature range of between -20 °C and +250 °C. A high image repetition frequency
guarantees continuous real-time thermal imaging. A variety of integrated measuring functions
and the automatic measured value correction function ensure optimum results every single
time.
5. Thermal imaging camera EC60V
We use the Trotec EC60V thermal image camera in non-invasive moisture testing. Although
this is our most expensive tool, it requires the correct conditions to operate at its optimum.
Again combined with construction knowledge (old and new) and a keen eye for risk areas
Innohome can locate areas of concern without any damage to the building. Kevin has attained
IR Level One certification in the use and science of this technology.
