Investigating moisture at a window

An anonymised targeted inspection example showing how visual observations, an instrument reading and thermal screening informed a practical next step.

Cropped exterior view of an aluminium window, sill and adjacent vertical cladding. — Exterior window and sill detail reviewed as part of a targeted moisture investigation.

Moisture meter displaying 99.9 at the lower internal corner of a window. — Instrument reading recorded at the lower window corner and considered with visual and thermal evidence.

Thermal image of the lower window area with two temperature markers. — Thermal screening of the same window area; thermal colour alone was not treated as proof of cause.
