Moisture mapping is an essential process for monitoring the moisture content of a building or structure. It involves taking readings at various locations to assess the moisture levels and identify potential moisture issues. Acceptable moisture levels vary depending on the specific material or surface being tested. However, generally, the following guidelines are considered acceptable:
A damp reading is a measurement of the moisture level in a material or surface. It is typically expressed as a percentage of moisture content. An acceptable damp reading depends on the specific material or surface being tested, but generally, the following ranges are considered acceptable:
By monitoring moisture levels and ensuring they remain within acceptable ranges, it is possible to prevent moisture-related damage, maintain a healthy indoor environment, and extend the lifespan of the building or structure.
