What is advanced moisture monitoring?

Advanced moisture monitoring uses wireless sensors placed in your crawl space or basement to track humidity levels, temperature, and water presence in real-time. Data is transmitted to your smartphone, alerting you immediately if conditions change, allowing you to address problems before damage occurs.

How much does moisture monitoring cost?

Professional moisture monitoring systems typically range from $300-$1,200 depending on the number of sensors, features (WiFi, cellular, battery backup), and monitoring service subscriptions. Hydroguard offers various options to fit your budget and monitoring needs.

How do I get alerts from the monitoring system?

Most systems connect via WiFi or cellular to send push notifications to your smartphone when humidity exceeds set thresholds, water is detected, or sensors lose connectivity. Some systems also offer email alerts and integration with home automation platforms.

Can moisture monitoring prevent damage on its own?

No. Monitoring alerts you to problems—it doesn't fix them. However, early detection allows you to respond immediately before minor issues become major damage. It's especially valuable when you're away from home or have seasonal properties.

Do I need monitoring if I have encapsulation and dehumidification?

While not required, monitoring adds an extra layer of protection. Systems can fail, humidity can spike, or water can intrude in unexpected ways. Monitoring gives you peace of mind and catches problems before they compromise your waterproofing investment.

How long do moisture sensors last?

Quality sensors typically last 5-10 years. Battery-powered sensors need battery replacement every 1-3 years. Wired sensors powered by your home's electrical system require minimal maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.

What humidity level should trigger an alert?

Most systems are set to alert when humidity exceeds 60% for extended periods, as mold growth begins above this level. The ideal range is 40-55%. We help you configure alert thresholds based on your specific space and climate conditions.

Can monitoring systems work without WiFi?

Yes. Cellular-enabled systems use LTE/5G connectivity independent of your home WiFi. This ensures monitoring continues even during internet outages. Some systems also store data locally and sync when connectivity is restored.
