Hello, somewhat new inspector here...
I am looking at different instruments for moisture measurement, but there are many choices at many different prices and I would like to spend wisely. Should I get one that scans across a surface, or one with probes, or both? I guess with EIFS testing, you need one with a probe at least 3 inches long... What have your experiences been with this and what would you recommend? |

I was thinking I would need to be able to do both a non-invasive detection of moisture behind the wall AND then do a poke test to see the water content...
What do you think? |

ummm, what about this thread?
http://www.nachi.org/forum/f16/stucco-moisture-content-32303/ Sounds kinda like without going into the wall, you cannot get a definitive answer because of many variables... Just so ya know, stucco is a real common dealeo here in florida. |

I have this along with a GE Protimeter non-invasive meter. The BCam also works well.
