A method of retro-fitting a moisture detection fitting (1) in the wall (5) of a building is disclosed. A hole is drilled into a wall (5) of the building and into an element of the timber frame (7) of the house. The sensor (1), in the form of a probe is inserted into the hole so that a part of it contacts the timber frame element (7). The sensor is in the form of an elongated body (3) in which two electrodes (4) are contained. The electrodes are either directly in contact with the timber frame (7) element, or are in contact with an absorbent filler (18) which is in contact with the frame element. End plate (2) of the sensor carries contacts for each electrode which allow a meter to be connected across the electrodes to measure the resistance. Changes in resistance indicate changes in the moisture content of the timber frame element (7).

L'invention concerne un procédé de montage d'un dispositif (1) de détection d'humidité dans le mur d'un bâtiment, consistant a) à former un espace dans le mur, b) à insérer le dispositif (1) de détection d'humidité dans l'espace de façon qu'une sonde (4) du dispositif i) vienne en contact avec la structure en bois du mur, ou ii) s'arrête avant la structure en bois du mur mais vienne en contact avec une charge (18) absorbant l'humidité faisant partie du dispositif, et pouvant absorber l'humidité de la structure en bois. Le dispositif de détection d'humidité est fixé de manière sensiblement permanente, de façon qu'en cours d'utilisation un appareil de détection d'humidité puisse être connecté de manière amovible au dispositif à l'extérieur du mur, et utiliser les sondes et, si nécessaire, la charge, pour mesurer l'humidité de la structure en bois.
