Moisture Mapping

Moisture Mapping involves meticulously measuring and documenting moisture levels within a structure. By utilizing specialized moisture meters and thermal imaging, this technique offers a comprehensive analysis of moisture distribution.

Wood Moisture Content

Wood moisture content refers to the amount of water present within wood fibers. The moisture content directly influences wood’s physical properties, including its strength, stability, and susceptibility to damage.

At what moisture content does mold grow on wood?

Mold thrives in moist environments. As wood’s moisture content exceeds 20%, the risk of mold growth significantly increases. Therefore, maintaining wood moisture levels below this threshold is crucial to prevent mold formation and its associated health hazards.
