How To: 1  1. Purchase a hygrometer. One of the easiest ways to test your homeâs humidity level is to head to the drugstore and purchase a hygrometer or indoor humidity monitor. 2  2. Check for signs. If you donât want to spring for a store-bought device, there are several telltale signs of humidity.
Check the humidity levels in the rooms where you have your hardwood floors installed using a humidistat or a hydrometer â theyâre both available in hardware stores or home centers. If the humidity levels are beyond the 35% â 55% range, then make adjustments. If the levels are too high, use a dehumidifier or turn up the air conditioning.
