Acceptable Moisture Levels

Appropriate moisture levels inside a property are crucial for optimal indoor air quality and structural integrity. Maintaining these levels can prevent health issues and property damage.

At What Moisture Level Does Mold Grow in Drywall?

Mold growth in drywall becomes a concern when moisture levels exceed 15%. At this threshold, mold spores can germinate and proliferate, leading to potential health hazards and structural deterioration.

Moisture Mapping Techniques

• Infrared Thermal Imaging: Detects areas with temperature variations, indicating potential moisture buildup.
• Moisture Meters: Pinpoint specific areas with elevated moisture content.
• Visual Inspection: Identifying signs of water damage, such as discoloration, bubbling, or water stains.
