What our customers say...
I recently discovered some moisture problems in my finished basement. With no way to tell how bad things were I purchased this moisture meter. It helped me find where the water was coming from and saved me at least several hundred dollars by not having a repairman spend time looking for the water source. Now I can tell the contractor where to begin work.
Very good moisture meter for the price. As a home inspector, I am finding it accurate and easy to use. The digital display is easy to read. Pocket sized & light. My only recommendation would be if the display could have a light in it for working in dark spaces. Thanks for your prompt delivery as well.
