Maintaining the optimal moisture levels in hardwood floors is crucial for their longevity and performance. Through a meticulous process known as Moisture Mapping, professionals can accurately assess the moisture content in a hardwood floor and identify any areas that warrant attention.
The acceptable range of moisture levels in hardwood floors varies depending on the species of wood, the environment, and local building codes. However, as a general rule, most hardwood floors should have a moisture content between 6% and 9%.
By conducting Moisture Mapping, homeowners and contractors can proactively identify areas with excessive moisture and address them promptly, preventing potential problems and extending the lifespan of their hardwood floors.
