Portland and the Northwest Coast are known for their lush green landscapes and temperate climate. However, this picturesque environment also brings with it challenges when it comes to structural drying and water mitigation in homes. The science behind Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) plays a crucial role in detecting and addressing moisture issues effectively, requiring a deep understanding of regional humidity variations.
Equilibrium Moisture Content: The Science Behind Structural Drying
Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) refers to the moisture level that building materials balance with their surrounding environment. In regions like Portland and the Northwest Coast, where humidity levels can fluctuate significantly, the EMC values vary across different times of the year and geographical locations. This dynamic nature of EMC poses unique challenges for detecting and mitigating moisture in homes, especially during water damage incidents.
