Materials in External Wall and Moisture Control

[Joel Sverneborn]

Hi, my partner and I own a Rikshus built in 1952, we are renovating a room in the basement where about 60 and 80 cm of both exterior walls are below ground level, where we are now checking the moisture in the walls.

Question 1 - Does anyone know more precisely what this material is, hollow concrete, lecablock, lightweight concrete, or something else?

Question 2 - I have rented a moisture meter with an attached reading table, which row should I refer to or does anyone in the forum know the range the walls should be within before taking action?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Joel & Nathalie

Completely ordinary concrete blocks in the wall.

Thank you very much for the quick response, can we then go entirely by row C when we read the moisture meter?
