3 easy steps:

1. Place your Wave Mini* (tips on placement below)

2. Read your graphs and data

3. Make positive changes to prevent mold

Placement

For the most accurate readings, the device should be placed where mold is most likely to grow. The most vulnerable areas are often the coldest and least ventilated, so we suggest placing the Wave Mini in some of the following locations:

  1. next to a wall or on a windowsill

  2. underneath or behind furniture

  3. towards the floor on external walls

  4. next to underground external walls

  5. small enclosures (such as behind an access door or wall)

Common rooms with mold risk:

  • Rooms with cold external walls and/or poor insulation

  • Rooms with poor ventilation

  • Basement

  • Attic

  • Bathroom

  • Garages

  • Shed

  • Crawl space

Other assets with mold risk:

  • Recreational Vehicles

  • Campervans

  • Boats

  • Second homes/cabins
