All Files in the Document Package

Excel Tool – Nine Tabs

Overview, Cases, Investigations, Measurements, Drying-Out, Deviations, Remedial Actions, Post-Remediation Inspections, and Read Me. The workbook has 200 empty registration rows in each register and 14 formula-based key performance indicators for, for example, ordered versus completed investigations, reported measurement series, open deviations, and verified remedial actions. All key performance indicators are 0 in the empty original. No macros or test data are included.

How to Use the Templates

1. Record actual moisture indications with a case ID, date, and affected building component. A suspicion is not automatically a diagnosed damage.
2. Order an expert investigation if necessary. Distinguish between an ordered investigation, a completed inspection, and a received external report.
3. Transfer only actual measurement values from the expert's original documentation. Specify material, location, method, measurement quantity, unit, date, and report reference.
4. Follow the contractor's ordered and completed moisture remedial actions and dehumidification. The template does not describe how dehumidifiers should be installed or operated.
5. Close only after actual follow-up and relevant expert verification where necessary. An Excel status does not replace a moisture technology assessment.

Swedish Regulations, Moisture, and Indoor Environment

The Public Health Agency's guidance on property owners' self-monitoring and moisture and microorganisms highlights routines for detecting, investigating, and remedying moisture deficiencies. The Environmental Code's health protection and self-monitoring are relevant depending on the building, activity, and conditions.

The Swedish Building Regulations' provisions on moisture safety, BFS 2024:8 as applicable, govern, among other things, moisture safety during new construction and modification work within the scope of the building regulations. The regulations are not generally retroactive for all existing buildings. A material-specific level, including 75 percent relative humidity in certain building regulation contexts, is not a universal approval or drying-out limit for all moisture damage.

Important limitation: These are administrative document templates, not a moisture technology measurement method, mold analysis, remediation instruction, demolition method, or dehumidifier sizing. No technical safety or health suitability is certified by filling out the documents. Handle acute damage and potential health risks according to existing routines and hire a competent contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moisture Measurement and Drying-Out

What information should a moisture measurement log contain?

At least a traceable measurement point, material, date, reported measurement quantity and unit, method, and original report. Technical limits and results are assessed by a relevant expert.

When is moisture damage fully remedied?

It depends on the cause of damage, material, and documented results. Completed dehumidification work or a single RH value is not by itself general evidence of a fully adequate remedy.

Is 75 percent relative humidity a universal limit?

No. The Swedish Building Regulations' provisions have a specific scope. A general percentage cannot be used to assess all materials or declare all existing moisture damage harmless.

Can I conduct a valid moisture investigation myself using these templates?

The templates help you administer the investigation and document actual external data. They provide no sampling instructions or competence to conduct an expert investigation.

Is this the same as a damage report to an insurance company?

No. This product focuses on the investigation and remedial chain, not on insurance claims or a complete damage report.

Are the PDF documents digitally fillable?

They are searchable and printable, but are not promised as interactive PDF forms. The Word files are editable.

Does Excel have macros?

No. The spreadsheet uses standard formulas and status bars. It contains no test entries.

Are English working documents included?

An English User Guide is included. The five operational templates are in Swedish and apply to Swedish conditions.

Complementary Documents

Water Leakage Breakers & Leak Alarms have a different focus: operational follow-up of leak alarms and shut-off functions. Here, investigation, remediation, and actual post-remediation inspection for moisture problems are documented instead.
