Moisture Mapping Understanding Acceptable Moisture Levels

Moisture Mapping is a crucial aspect of construction and property maintenance, determining moisture levels within building materials like drywall to ensure structural integrity and prevent damage. Acceptable moisture levels in drywall help avoid mold, mildew, and structural compromises.

### What is a Normal Moisture Reading for Drywall?

The acceptable moisture content for drywall is generally between 0-15% by weight. This range allows the material to maintain its strength and durability without being excessively wet or dry. A moisture reading above 15% may indicate the presence of excessive moisture, which requires further investigation and corrective measures to prevent long-term damage.
