What is Moisture Mapping?

Moisture mapping is a crucial process involving the systematic measurement and recording of moisture content within a structure, typically using a moisture meter. This comprehensive assessment allows professionals to identify areas with excessive moisture, aiding in diagnosing potential moisture-related issues and developing effective remediation strategies.

Acceptable Moisture Levels

Determining acceptable moisture levels is essential for ensuring a healthy and comfortable living environment. Moisture levels beyond acceptable ranges can lead to a host of problems, including mold growth, structural damage, and respiratory issues.

What is an Acceptable Damp Reading?

Generally, acceptable damp readings vary based on the material being measured and the specific environment. However, as a general guideline, the following moisture levels are considered acceptable:

• Wood: Below 15%
• Concrete: Below 75%
• Drywall: Below 10%
