For optimal building longevity, moisture management is important. This includes understanding the recommended moisture readings for internal walls. These readings vary depending on wall type, but generally acceptable ranges are provided below:
Exceeding these moisture readings may indicate excess moisture penetration, which can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and health issues.
Regular monitoring of internal wall moisture levels is crucial. If readings consistently exceed recommended values, professional assessment is recommended to identify underlying causes and develop appropriate remediation measures.
