The amount water vapour contained in the air is referred to as relative humidity. This condition encourages mould growth and dust mite population. Moulds are always in the air but they require just a considerable amount of moisture to grow. The spores released by moulds are a seed of mould growth that land on damp [...]

Moulds are microorganisms that grow every where they find moisture both indoor and outdoor environments. They enter into your home from outside air through the windows, doorways, and HVAC systems. People also carry moulds along into their homes on their bodies, shoes, bags, clothing and pets. All that moulds need to grow is moisture. When [...]

Moisture meters are tools designed to help home inspection professionals and contractors to identify the source of moisture build up and also moisture content of wood and other building materials. Moisture meters offer you very precise moisture readings on surfaces of wood, concrete, drywall and finished furniture. A good and perfect looking job depends on [...]

There are three types of moisture meters normally used for moisture level measurements in building inspection, wood processing factories and the like. They are the pin type, the pinless type and those that operate with both methods. . The pin type is the traditional style that has two pins which are pushed into a wood [...]

Inspection professional have a great advantage when they add moisture meters to their tool kit. Their work is made easier as these devices enable them to perform building inspection, pest control, lumber inspection, fire damage and water damage. With an optional pin measurement probe, some of the moisture meters can be used to detect moisture [...]

Most of the moisture meters can be used by individuals or home inspectors to monitor moisture content on their own. In industries where wood processing takes place, moisture meters can used to measure the moisture in Wood products, Furniture making/repair, wood floor manufacturing & installation, and wood drying. Learn more about other moisture meters. .

Moisture meters come in two types; pin type and the pinless type. The pin type of moisture meters are capable of measuring the moisture content of wood with rough surfaces and irregular shapes regardless of the size. The pinless type also measures wood and materials with rather smooth and flat surface taking into consideration the [...]

Extech moisture meters are devices that enable you to measure the moisture content of wood, walls and other building materials. Some of the moisture meters have memory that contains 9 material groups.  Others can also select from approximately 170 species of wood. There are many other features of moisture meters you would like to know. [...]

Moisture meters are not only meant for an inspector’s tool kit. A moisture meter can help you to detect quickly household issues such as mold, rot and decay risks which may be associated with housing roof, walls or insulation. With the help of this device you can avoid incurring costs that may come as a [...]

Combining both contact and non-contact measurements, the Extech MO265 is capable of quickly evaluating the level of moisture within substrates. It uses an electro-magnetic sensing technology to point out wood and other building materials that have some level of moisture in them. This Extech MO265 uses its pinless measurement mode to take moisture measurements up [...]
