To achieve the drying goal, how much additional moisture is typically added to the unaffected material readings?

To effectively achieve the drying goal, it is standard practice to add an additional 10% moisture to the unaffected material readings. This adjustment accounts for the inherent variability that can exist within materials and ensures that the drying process continues until the moisture content reaches a level that is considered dry.

Adding this amount allows for a margin of safety, ensuring that all areas, including edges and hidden sections that may not be easily visible or accessible, are truly dried to an acceptable standard. Using this approach minimizes the risk of leaving behind dampness that could lead to further issues such as mold growth or structural damage.
