Moisture mapping is a non-invasive technique for detecting and mapping moisture content in building materials. It helps identify areas of excessive moisture that may lead to damage or structural issues.
The acceptable moisture content in walls varies depending on the material and climate. Generally, moisture levels below 15% are considered acceptable for most building materials. Levels above 20% may indicate a potential problem requiring further investigation.
Moisture levels between 5% and 15% are considered normal for walls. However, short-term fluctuations in moisture content may occur due to weather conditions or temporary changes in building operation.
Moisture levels above 20% should be addressed promptly. Excessive moisture can damage building materials, promote mold growth, and compromise structural integrity.
