Moisture Mapping Acceptable Moisture Levels for Internal Walls

Moisture Mapping

Moisture mapping involves the use of specialized equipment to accurately measure and map the moisture content of walls and other building components. Done by professionals, moisture mapping can provide valuable insights into the health and integrity of a building.

Acceptable Moisture Levels

An acceptable moisture level for internal walls is generally considered to be between 10% and 16%. These levels are low enough to prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which can cause damage to the wall and can also pose health risks to occupants.

What should moisture readings be for internal walls?

As mentioned earlier, an acceptable moisture level for internal walls is generally between 10% and 16%. However, it is important to note that these levels can vary slightly depending on the specific materials used in the wall construction, the climate, and the season. For example, internal walls in a humid climate may have slightly higher moisture levels than those in a dry climate. Similarly, internal walls in a cold climate may have slightly lower moisture levels during the winter months than during the summer months.

If you are concerned about the moisture level in your internal walls, it is recommended that you consult with a qualified professional. They can conduct a moisture mapping assessment and provide you with specific guidance on how to address any moisture issues that may be present.
