ABSTRACT:
A system is provided to monitor for moisture at separate locations interior to exterior structure cladding. The system includes a plurality of moisture sensors, at least one of which is disposed at each location to be monitored. Upon activation by the presence of moisture at its respective said location, the moisture sensor generates a signal. The system may also include a receiver in communication with the moisture sensors, to provide an identifier of the location of an activated moisture sensor. The moisture sensors and receiver may communicate via wiring, or wirelessly. The system so provided may be disposed within a single structure, or within a plurality of structures, with the receiver disposed within such a structure or remote to any such monitored structure.
