Moisture Testing

Moisture content in both GRP and wooden hulls and superstructures. This will show the level of moisture in the hull behind the Gelcoat indicating whether osmosis is present or likely to become a problem. to It is of utmost importance to monitor the moisture level in the drying out period during osmosis repair.

In wooden hulls it is utilized to find rotten areas of timber.  In new build it is used to control whether timber has been cured and matured enough to be used in construction.
