Protimeter Surveymaster. Shop around for better prices. I got mine, brand new still in plastic, for $249.00 from a pawn shop off Craigslist.

I have Delmhorst total check. It has pins and surface scan. The best ones can scan deeper than 1 inch from surface.

I like having two just to be sure.
Use a cheap pinless and an Exotech pinned model from Grainger. |

Ditto I use two. One is a cheap pinless moisture meter and a Protimeter Surveymaster.

I agree, it does sound a bit like a 'quick fix' solution.Surely you can never be 100% absolutely certain that something won't go wrong.

You need a pinned model for crawl spaces. I have a Tramex and Protimeter both. The Tramex is not well suited for crawl spaces...you need to be able to stick the thing in the wood and get it in tight spaces. That red light beaming in a dark crawl space looks nice in reports. If you have a Tramex, you don't also need an expensive Surveymaster. Can get by with the basic pinned model.
