Professional moisture mapping services are used to identify areas of moisture accumulation and provide solutions to address them. It’s a reliable method for preventing costly structural damage, mold growth, and poor indoor air quality. Our team of experienced professionals utilize advanced moisture mapping techniques to ensure accurate and comprehensive assessments, safeguarding your indoor environment.
Maintaining optimal moisture levels in internal walls is crucial for a building’s health and occupants’ well-being. Acceptable moisture levels vary depending on the material used in the construction of the wall.
For most internal walls made of wood, plasterboard, or drywall, the recommended moisture content should be between 5% and 15%. Higher moisture levels can cause decay, mold growth, and structural weakness, while lower moisture levels can lead to cracks and warping.
Brick and concrete walls are generally less susceptible to moisture damage but still require monitoring. For these materials, acceptable moisture levels range from 4% to 8%. Exceeding these levels may compromise the integrity of the structure.
Moisture mapping utilizes specialized equipment to measure the moisture content of wall materials non-invasively. This allows our professionals to identify areas of high moisture accumulation and determine the underlying causes.
We carefully interpret moisture mapping results to provide actionable recommendations for addressing moisture issues. This may include repairing leaks, improving ventilation, or implementing drainage solutions.
Regular moisture mapping is recommended for monitoring the moisture levels in internal walls and ensuring that they remain within acceptable ranges. This proactive approach can help you avoid costly and damaging moisture-related problems.
