Moisture Mapping is a crucial diagnostic tool that provides precise measurements of moisture levels in building materials. Understanding acceptable moisture levels is essential to ensure structural integrity and prevent moisture-related issues.
The acceptable moisture content in walls varies depending on the material and environmental conditions. However, as a general rule, <16% moisture content is considered acceptable for most building materials, including drywall, wood, and concrete.
Monitoring moisture levels regularly through Moisture Mapping allows homeowners to identify potential moisture problems early on and take appropriate action to prevent costly repairs and structural damage.
