Cedar roof moisture mapping is a diagnostic process used to identify and document areas of trapped moisture within a roofing system. This technique helps detect hidden water damage that may not be visible on the surface.
Moisture mapping typically involves the use of specialized moisture detection tools to measure water content in cedar shakes, underlayment, and roof decking. Data is then used to create a visual map of affected areas.
This process is critical because cedar roofs can conceal moisture problems beneath overlapping shakes, making early detection difficult without technical assessment.
Moisture mapping helps determine whether localized repairs, restoration, or full replacement is required. It is especially useful for diagnosing chronic leaks or widespread deterioration.
