Default Highest floor structure moisture content EVER

Note the size of this house on a crawl space. Crawl height < 2 feet high. Crawl space had just TWO vents.

92% moisture in November. Incredible. Never seen it anywhere near that high unless it's an active leak.

Oh come on Joe. You exaggerate. The meter clearly only says 91.9
