Moisture Mapping Acceptable Moisture Levels in Wood Framing

Acceptable Moisture Levels

Moisture Mapping is an essential tool for proper building maintenance. Understanding acceptable moisture levels in wood framing is crucial to prevent structural damage, mold growth, and premature deterioration.

What is an Acceptable Moisture Level in Wood Framing?

Generally accepted moisture content (MC) levels for wood framing range from 10% to 15%. However, specific acceptable MC levels may vary depending on factors such as:

* Type of wood used
* Climate and environmental conditions
* Building codes and regulations

Failure to maintain appropriate moisture levels can compromise the structural integrity and durability of the wood framing, leading to costly repairs and potential safety hazards.
