Moisture Mapping Acceptable Moisture Levels

Moisture mapping is a process by which the moisture content of a building or other structure is measured and recorded. This information can be used to identify areas of high moisture that could lead to problems such as mold growth or structural damage. It is important to understand what constitutes acceptable moisture levels in walls.

How much moisture is OK in walls?

For most walls, a moisture content of less than 16% is considered acceptable.
Moisture levels between 16% and 20% may indicate a problem, but not necessarily a serious one.
Moisture levels above 20% are considered high and could lead to problems such as mold growth or structural damage.

It is important to note that these are just general guidelines.
The acceptable moisture level for a particular wall may vary depending on a number of factors, such as the type of wall, the climate, and the presence of any moisture sources.
