Moisture readings above 200 indicate a very hazardous moisture environment

What is a Bad Moisture Reading?

A moisture reading above 200% is considered a very hazardous moisture environment. This means that there is too much moisture in the area, which can cause a number of problems:

  • Mold and mildew growth
  • Wood rot
  • Structural damage
  • Health problems

If you have a moisture reading above 200%, it is important to take action to dry out the area as soon as possible. You can do this by using a dehumidifier, opening windows and doors, and running fans.
