Moisture testing is an important procedure before, during and
after the construction of a building. To ensure if a site is suitable for
construction, the level of dampness in the ground should be checked. The humidity
and water level is checked during the construction for many reasons, as to
certify the strengths of the building. And after the construction is completed,
or in old structures, there may appear some signs of dampness that look
unattractive, and they may also accentuate the corrosion of the structure, and
can cause several health related issues to the people living inside the
building.
