Moisture Mapping plays a crucial role in building inspection, helping experts locate and assess sources of moisture within a property. Understanding acceptable moisture levels is key to maintaining a healthy indoor environment and preventing costly damage.
Mold growth in drywall becomes a concern at moisture levels exceeding 15%. Prolonged exposure to elevated moisture levels can create an ideal environment for mold spores to germinate and proliferate. It’s important to address moisture problems promptly to prevent mold growth and potential health hazards.
Regular moisture mapping inspections are essential to identify and mitigate potential moisture problems. By monitoring moisture levels, homeowners and property managers can ensure a healthy and safe indoor environment while safeguarding the integrity of their property.
