Moisture mapping is a proactive approach to moisture management, providing a detailed representation of moisture levels within a structure. By understanding acceptable moisture levels and how to interpret moisture readings, you can proactively address moisture issues and maintain a healthy indoor environment.
Drywall is a commonly used building material that can absorb and release moisture. The normal moisture content for drywall varies depending on the type and age of the material. In general, a moisture reading between 0 and 12% is considered acceptable for most types of drywall. However, it’s important to note that moisture levels can fluctuate due to environmental factors such as humidity and temperature. If you suspect there may be excessive moisture in your drywall, it’s recommended to consult a qualified professional for further assessment.
