### What is Moisture Mapping?

Moisture mapping is a process involving the measurement of moisture levels in building materials, such as wood, drywall, and concrete. This process helps identify areas with excessive moisture, which can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and health issues.

### Acceptable Moisture Levels

The acceptable moisture level for building materials varies depending on the material and its intended use. Generally, moisture content should be below:

* Wood: 10-15%
* Drywall: 10-12%
* Concrete: <2% ### What is an Acceptable Damp Reading? Damp readings are measurements of moisture levels in the air. An acceptable damp reading is typically below 50%. Readings above this level may indicate excessive moisture in the environment, potentially leading to mold growth and other problems.
