Moisture mapping is a crucial process in ensuring the structural integrity and long-term health of buildings. Determining acceptable moisture levels is essential to prevent issues such as mold growth, rot, and other water-related damage.
### Acceptable Moisture Levels for Internal Walls
The optimal moisture content for internal walls is between 3% and 8%. Higher moisture readings may indicate water damage or excessive humidity, while lower readings could suggest a lack of moisture necessary for structural stability.
**Acceptable Moisture Levels for Internal Walls:**
| Moisture Range | Condition |
|---|---|
| 3%-8% | Optimal moisture content |
| >8% | Possible water damage or excessive humidity |
| <3% | Potential lack of moisture necessary for structural stability |
