Moisture mapping system

Damp you can
see.
Damp you can
prove.

Bluetooth moisture meter paired with your iPhone. Sweep a wall in 60 seconds, get a colour-coded 3D heat map anchored to the exact room geometry, diagnose rising damp vs condensation vs penetrating damp by pattern — not by guesswork.

Plaster defaults shown. The actual scale adjusts per surface: anhydrite screed flips red at 0.8%, softwood at 18%, brick at 80. The app picks the right one from the meter's mode.

The same data, everywhere

Open the property in any browser. The readings sync live from the app — bilinear interpolation paints a smooth heatmap across each wall, hotspots above 22% pulse red.

The hardware

Laserliner MoistureMaster Compact Plus

Non-destructive dielectric measurement — no drill holes, no probes. Hold the sensor flat against the wall, wait for the beep, the reading streams to the app via Bluetooth. Every reading is timestamped and anchored to a cell on the wall's 3×3 sweep grid.

  • Three measurement modes: construction material, cement screed %CMC, index
  • Bluetooth LE — pairs instantly with the Inspecto iOS app
  • Depth: up to 4 cm (detects hidden damp behind plaster)
  • Ambient temperature + humidity logged alongside each reading
  • No calibration drift — same reading today vs rescan in 6 months
  • iPhone acts as the record — meter LCD is just the live display

One scale per surface

A reading means different things depending on what you're measuring. 4% on plaster is alarming; 4% on softwood is bone-dry. Inspecto picks the right threshold automatically.

Thresholds derived from Laserliner MoistureMaster Compact Plus specification. Cement and anhydrite screed values are %CMC (mass percent). Wood values are percent moisture content. Brick/concrete indices are dimensionless relative scale.

Workflow

60 seconds per wall.
Nothing to configure.

The inspector opens the room in the Inspecto app, picks a wall on the minimap, taps Start, and sweeps. The app does the rest.

Pick a wall on the room map.
The app points you at it.

Top-down minimap drawn from the LiDAR scan's wall geometry. Live BLE reading shown up top (here: 5.7% CM), active wall highlighted in amber with an arrow from the room centre, completed walls in green, remaining in dashed grey. Tap any wall to switch.

1
Pair the meter

Turn on the Laserliner meter, tap Scan in the app. BLE pairing takes two seconds and is remembered for the session.

2
Pick a wall

Minimap shows the room from above with every wall numbered. Tap the one you're about to sweep. Done walls render green; current wall in accent.

3
Sweep the grid

App generates a grid whose density matches wall size — 3×3 on a small wall, 5×8 on a long one. Each BLE reading auto-locks into the next cell.

4
Heat map anchors

Readings paint a bilinear-interpolated heat map directly on the 3D model. Hotspots ≥22% pulse red. Each cell is stored with timestamp, source, and material.

5
Pattern diagnosis

Web editor surfaces automatic pattern detection: rising damp (bottom-band wet), penetrating damp (isolated patch), condensation (upper corners moist).

6
Report-ready

PDF reports embed the heat map, the raw readings, the diagnosis, and a before/after comparison if the property has a prior rescan.

Pattern diagnosis

Three shapes of damp.
Three different fixes.

Not every wet reading means the same thing. The shape of moisture across a wall tells you where it came from — and therefore how to stop it.

Rising damp
What it looks like

Bottom band of the wall reads wet; top half reads dry. Classic capillary wicking from the ground up.

Typical fix

Chemical DPC injection, physical membrane, or ventilated cavity. Cost: €150–€400 per linear metre. Usually a 1-day job.

Penetrating damp
What it looks like

Isolated wet patch mid-wall or high up. No gradient — sharp edges. Leak, flashing failure, cracked render.

Typical fix

Fix the source first (roof, gutter, pipe). Wall dries in 2–6 weeks naturally. Cost: highly variable.

Condensation
What it looks like

Upper corners and ceiling-adjacent cells read moist. Sharp at cold bridges (steel lintels, window reveals).

Typical fix

Ventilation improvements, thermal insulation at bridges, dehumidifier during winter. Cost: €500–€3000.
