My husband and son are both Maintenance Technicians, and work in a Bank building and apartments. Water leaks in either one of these could be disastrous. It's important for them to find water leaks early, but it's even more important to make sure the wood around the leak area has not absorbed too much water, which will then make the wood grow mold, and begin rotting.

With the RISEPRO digital moisture meter, they now can check the moisture in the wood, and determine if the wood needs to be replaced, or if it is still safe.  All they have to do is place the meter very close to the wood that they want to test, and get a scan. It is important to let your unit accustom itself to the room temperature for a more accurate reading. Since this unit doesn't have pins, they will not be damaging any wood as they test it, preventing complaints from the clients.

The screen is easy to read, and all that is required for the meter to work is a 9-volt battery, which was included in the package. At this time, we've only been able to sort of play with the meter, as we don't have any reported leaks to check, but checking the wood in our pier and beam house so far has shown that our wood is fine.

  1. Moisture Meter-The moisture meter proves itself to be an excellent and extremely useful tool in any avid DIY enthusiast's tool box. The reason for this is often that moisture happens to be all around us country within the air and gift in many various materials. Being in a very position to be able to gauge wet levels in any given substance will pay nice dividends within the long-term in many another completely different DIY project.
