Moisture Mapping is a comprehensive process that involves using specialized tools and techniques to identify, measure, and map moisture levels within a structure. This information is crucial for understanding the extent of the problem, diagnosing the cause, and developing effective solutions.

Acceptable Moisture Levels and Drywall Readings

Determining acceptable moisture levels depends on the material being tested. For drywall, a general range of 12-15% moisture content is considered normal. However, variations may occur depending on factors such as the environment and the type of drywall.

What is a Normal Moisture Reading for Drywall?

* 12-15%: Normal moisture content range for drywall
* Below 12%: Drywall is likely below the equilibrium moisture content for the environment, indicating potential damage
* Above 15%: Moisture levels are elevated and may indicate water intrusion or other moisture-related issues
