| Use a Hidden Moisture
Meter to find water and moisture problems Use a hidden moisture meter to scan all floors, walls, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, attic timbers, etc. for elevated levels of water or moisture. For example, timber usually is considered dry at 16 to 17% moisture content. If the moisture content is higher [as illustrated in the photograph below], conditions are ripe for the growing of massive mold infestation. |
