Smart Moisture Management

Moisture in timber can lead to serious structural issues like mould and rot if left unchecked. This blog explains the risks of high moisture levels, the signs to watch for, and compares manual and automatic monitoring methods. With real-time alerts and continuous data, automatic systems like Tector’s make it easier to prevent damage, reduce workload, and protect the longevity of timber buildings.

This blog explores how moisture impacts cross-laminated timber (CLT) buildings, highlighting common risks during and after construction. It shows how real-time monitoring can help detect issues early, manage drying times, and keep projects on track for long-term durability.

Moisture-related issues remain a significant challenge during both construction and the subsequent maintenance of buildings. Effective moisture monitoring helps prevent structural damage, mold growth, and deterioration of building materials. In this article, we review key risk areas and provide updated guidelines for moisture monitoring.
