1. A building monitoring computer system for monitoring construction materials of a building, the building monitoring computer system including:

  • at least one moisture sensor positioned at a first position within the construction materials of the building and configured to provide a moisture level proximate to the at least one moisture sensor, the at least one moisture sensor being embedded within the construction materials of the building;

    a memory including a moisture profile of the building, the moisture profile including a profile moisture level associated with the first position; and

    one or more processors communicatively coupled to the at least one moisture sensor, wherein the one or more processors are programmed to;

    receive a sample moisture level from the at least one moisture sensor via wireless communication;

    compare the sample moisture level to the profile moisture level to generate a moisture level difference, the profile moisture level being an average of one or more previously-collected sample moisture levels from the at least one moisture sensor;

    generate a moisture alert based upon determining that the moisture level difference exceeds a pre-determined threshold;

    determine a mobile device associated with a user of the building monitoring computer system; and

    transmit a moisture alert message to mobile device of the user of the building monitoring computer system via wireless communication to alert the user of a presence of moisture at the first position.
