Moisture mapping is a non-destructive technique used to detect and measure moisture content within a building’s structure.
The acceptable moisture level in a building’s internal walls can vary depending on factors such as material type, climate, and construction practices. In general, the following is considered acceptable:
For internal walls, moisture readings should typically be below 20%. Readings above this level may indicate the presence of excessive moisture, which can lead to problems such as mold growth, structural damage, and increased energy consumption.
Regular moisture mapping is crucial for identifying potential moisture issues and taking timely action to prevent damage. By accurately measuring moisture levels, property owners can detect and address problems early on, saving time, money, and preserving the integrity of their building.
