Moisture mapping is a process by which moisture levels within a structure are identified and measured. This process involves the use of specialized equipment to detect and quantify moisture content within building materials. Moisture mapping is often used to identify and address moisture-related issues such as mold growth, structural damage, and unhealthy indoor air quality.
### How Much Moisture is OK in Walls?
The acceptable moisture level in walls varies depending on several factors, including the type of building materials used, the climate, and the intended use of the space. In general, the following moisture levels are considered acceptable:
It is important to note that these are general guidelines, and the actual acceptable moisture levels may vary depending on specific circumstances. For example, walls in humid climates may have slightly higher acceptable moisture levels than walls in dry climates.
