Moisture Mapping Unraveling Acceptable Damp Levels

Moisture Mapping: A Comprehensive Guide

Moisture mapping is a detailed assessment that identifies moisture variations within a structure or building.

Acceptable Moisture Levels

The acceptable range of moisture levels varies depending on the building materials, construction type, and climatic conditions.

What is an Acceptable Damp Reading?

  • Concrete: Less than 8% moisture content
  • Wood: 6-12% moisture content
  • Gypsum Board: Less than 1% moisture content
  • Insulation: Minimum moisture levels to maintain insulating properties

Exceeding these levels can lead to moisture damage, mold growth, and structural integrity issues.
