Abstract:
1. A moisture detection and location system to monitor for the intrusion of moisture into the exterior cladding of a building at a plurality of separate locations, comprising: a. a plurality of moisture sensors, said moisture sensors configured for installation proximate to components defining said exterior cladding of said building generally concealed from view; b. each said moisture sensor including a pair of elongated electrically conductive leads, each said elongated electrically conductive leads defining an elongated length, said elongated lengths generally parallel to one another; c. said elongated electrically conductive leads carried alone said lengths upon a pliable substrate, said pliable substrate defining a thickness adaptable for attachment between components defining said exterior cladding; d. each said moisture sensor being activated upon the presence of moisture proximate to said leads along said lengths at its respective location and generating a corresponding signal upon activation thereof; e. at least one receiver in communication with said plurality of moisture sensors to provide an identifier of the location of said respective activated moisture sensor.
