What is Moisture Mapping?

Moisture Mapping is a detailed assessment of moisture levels in building structures. It involves utilizing specialized equipment to pinpoint areas with elevated moisture content, providing invaluable information for identifying and addressing potential moisture issues.

Acceptable Moisture Levels

Acceptable moisture levels vary depending on the material type and location within the building structure. Generally, drywall should have a moisture content below 15%, while wood should be below 12%. Moisture levels above these thresholds can indicate potential problems such as moisture damage, mold growth, and structural weakness.

What is a Normal Moisture Reading for Drywall?

Normal moisture readings for drywall typically range between 5% to 10%. Readings consistently above 15% may indicate excessive moisture in the material, potentially compromising the structural integrity and overall performance of the drywall.
