FAQ

• What are moisture meters used for?

  Moisture meters are tools designed to measure the moisture level in materials like wood, walls, floors, and concrete, helping you detect dampness, prevent mold, and ensure proper material conditions for construction and renovation.

• What is the difference between pinless and pin moisture meters?

  Pinless moisture meters scan moisture levels without penetrating the surface, making them ideal for non‑destructive testing of finished floors or walls. Pin‑type meters use metal probes inserted into the material, offering precise point measurements but leaving small holes.

• Can moisture meters detect hidden water damage?

  Yes — especially pinless models with deep scanning modes, moisture meters can detect elevated moisture levels beneath the surface, revealing potential water damage before visible signs appear.

• How do I choose the right moisture meter?

  When choosing a moisture meter, consider where you’ll use it (wood, drywall, concrete), the depth of measurement needed, and whether you prefer non‑destructive pinless testing or pin‑type accuracy for specific tasks.

• Are moisture meter readings accurate in different materials?

  Most moisture meters, including those in the Moisture Meters collection, offer material modes (e.g., wood, wall, concrete) or calibration settings that help improve accuracy across different surfaces and applications.
