So far we still don't know what kind of moisture problem you had in the house? Did rainwater get inside? Flooding three years ago? Have you bought a hygrometer to measure the air or a moisture meter to measure the walls? It somehow reads like the former ;) If the manual gives you guidelines, you don't necessarily need expert knowledge yourself, but you should be able to assess the overall situation on site. Moisture cannot be measured alone. A forum cannot tell you from a distance whether your walls still have residual moisture. Other factors also need to be considered besides the measurements.
