moisture meter

Thanks you Ladies and Gentleman for listening to my overall opinion on moisture meters. I have a lot experience with these devices, and always enjoy using them in the field. They are best used for detecting and monitoring moisture in materials. This device is one of the most used tools by a water technician.

When using the device daily, make sure you store meter in a clean and dry place. The protective carrying case provided is an ideal storage place when the meter is not in use. When the probe tips on the meter are pushed into materials to penetrate the surface, an electric current is sent between probes. The amount of moisture present in the material determines how easily the electrical current flows from one probe to another.

On non-wood materials, remember to use the reference scale. The readings on this scale are “dry to wet” indication of moisture and do not represent percent moisture content. Use a non-penetrating meter to determine the wettest points; then the penetrating meter to take more specific readings at that point. Set drying goals by monitoring the same type of materials in an unaffected area. Once you have a benchmark, bring the materials on the wet environment to an equal or drier state.
