Moisture Mapping Unveiling the Secrets of Moisture Levels in Hardwood Floors

Understanding Acceptable Moisture Levels in Hardwood Floors

Moisture Mapping is an indispensable tool for maintaining the health and longevity of hardwood floors by pinpointing areas with excessive or inadequate moisture levels.

Moisture mapping involves a comprehensive examination of the floor using a specialized moisture meter that measures moisture content in various locations. By identifying areas with moisture variations, professionals can determine the root cause and implement appropriate corrective measures.

What is an Acceptable Moisture Reading in a Hardwood Floor?

Optimum moisture content for hardwood floors is crucial to prevent damage and ensure durability. Acceptable moisture readings typically fall within a range:

  • For subfloor: 12-14%
  • For Hardwood floor: 6-9%

Readings outside these ranges may indicate moisture issues that require immediate attention.
