MOISTURE TESTING

Fiberglass hull and deck continuity testing is included in inspections. This testing indicates the possibility of moisture in the fiberglass laminate/coring and susceptibility to possible blisters or delamination. This testing is a critical procedure used to assess the integrity of a vessel's hull by measuring the presence of electrical continuity within the materials. This testing helps identify potential issues such as delamination, rot, or other forms of structural damage that can compromise the safety and performance of the boat. Our surveyors typically utilize moisture meters to obtain accurate readings from various areas of the hull, allowing for a thorough evaluation. Understanding moisture levels is essential for boat owners, as it aids in maintenance decisions and helps ensure the longevity and reliability of the vessel. Regular hull moisture testing is recommended, especially for older boats or those used in challenging environments.
