- Readings between (0-15%) no cause for concern
- Readings between (15-20%) dealer to make a note of these readings and re-check at next service.
- Readings between (20-24%) possible early signs of ingress, look for tangible evidence or ask for a re-check.
- Readings between (25-30%) moisture evident, remedial work required; may not need stripdown unless surface damage (staining, pimpling, and softness) is apparent. (There is a risk of wallboard deterioration due to retained moisture in the structure if resealed only.)
- Reading (31 % and above) structural damage is occurring, deterioration inevitable. a full stripdown of the affected area is required.
