Moisture readings above 750 indicate a very hazardous moisture environment

When moisture readings exceed 750%, it signals a severe and hazardous moisture environment.

Understanding Moisture Readings

  • Readings less than 200% indicate a safe moisture environment.
  • Readings between 200% to 500% are considered moderate.
  • Readings above 500% are potentially hazardous.

Hazardous Moisture Environment

  • Provides an ideal breeding ground for mold, mildew, and bacteria.
  • Compromises the structural integrity of buildings.
  • Can lead to health issues such as respiratory problems and allergies.

What to Do

  • Hire a qualified professional to inspect the property.
  • Implement moisture control measures such as waterproofing, ventilation, and dehumidification.
  • Monitor moisture readings regularly to ensure they remain below hazardous levels.

Importance of Professional Inspection

Interpreting moisture readings accurately requires specialized knowledge and equipment. A professional inspection can assess the severity of the problem, determine the underlying cause, and recommend appropriate remediation measures.
