### What is a Moisture Test in a House?

A moisture test in a house is an assessment that measures the amount of moisture present in various areas of a property. Moisture testing is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and preventing potential issues that arise from excessive moisture accumulation.

Moisture tests are beneficial for several reasons:

• They can detect hidden moisture problems that may not be readily apparent, such as leaks in plumbing or roofing systems.
• Moisture testing helps identify areas prone to mold growth, which can cause respiratory issues and other health concerns.
• Moisture tests can support the assessment of potential damage to the building’s structure caused by moisture intrusion.
