Moisture readings above 190 indicate a very hazardous moisture environment

What is a bad moisture reading?

Moisture readings above 190% indicate a very hazardous moisture environment. This means that the area is at high risk for mold growth and other moisture-related problems.

The following are some of the dangers of high moisture levels:

  • Mold growth: Mold can thrive in moist environments, and it can cause a variety of health problems, including allergies, asthma, and respiratory infections.
  • Structural damage: High moisture levels can cause structural damage to buildings, including rotting wood, peeling paint, and cracking concrete.
  • Electrical hazards: High moisture levels can also create electrical hazards, as water can conduct electricity and cause shocks or fires.

If you have a moisture reading above 190%, it is important to take steps to reduce the moisture level. This may involve:

  • Fixing any leaks or water damage.
  • Improving ventilation.
  • Using a dehumidifier.
  • Contacting a professional moisture remediation company.

By taking steps to reduce the moisture level, you can help protect your health and your home from the dangers of high moisture levels.
