Moisture levels are a crucial factor in home inspections. Moisture Mapping is used to detect and measure moisture content in building materials. Acceptable moisture levels vary depending on the material and location, but generally, levels below 15% are considered acceptable for most building materials.
Moisture readings above 15% may indicate a problem. High moisture levels can cause mold growth, rot, and structural damage. Immediate action should be taken to locate and address the moisture source, such as faulty plumbing, leaking roofs, or inadequate ventilation.
Moisture Mapping provides accurate and reliable information on moisture levels, helping homeowners and property managers identify and address moisture problems before they become major issues.
