Managing Moisture from Ground Sources

What should moisture readings be for internal walls?

Moisture can easily penetrate internal walls through the ground, causing issues such as mold, mildew, and structural damage. Monitoring moisture levels is crucial to ensure a healthy and safe living environment.

Typical moisture readings for internal walls vary based on factors like climate and construction materials. Generally, a reading below 15% is considered acceptable, while anything above 30% is concerning and can indicate a moisture problem.

It’s essential to consult with a professional who can conduct a thorough inspection and provide accurate readings using moisture meters. They can also identify the underlying cause of moisture ingress and recommend appropriate solutions.
