Acceptable Moisture Levels
Moisture mapping plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal conditions for a building’s structure and occupants. It involves measuring the moisture content of building materials and comparing it to acceptable levels to identify areas of concern. Acceptable moisture levels vary depending on the material type, climate, and intended use of the space.
