Guys I’m in the market for a moisture meter ,i know this question been ask before but just wanna compare some models because i see the most guys use the ones with pins .Any ideas as i will not only use it for wood .
I work for GE Energy Measurement & Control, and moisture meters are part of our product lines. If you are interested in a personal discussion about your needs, to see if we have something to offer, please email me at energy.measurement.control@gmail.com.
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.
After long time in the market the only reliable Moisture Meter I am familiar with is made in Germany by a company called gann http://www.gann.de go to the classic ones.
I was reading the reviews in this forum and a inspector saying that it works just fine is not ok
anything can work just fine
but the point is been precise with weather conditions, specie, hardness, and how deep you measure the moisture of the wood in the nucleus of the wood and not surface.
Does anyone know if i would need a license to be a termite inspector in Grand Rapids MI. I checked on the state website and I couldn’t find any information
