Tramex MEP Moisture Encounter Plus Moisture Meter

High quality, easy to use, accurate. Made in Ireland. Great tool for any home owner or inspector to root out moisture problems (usually the roof area...) and aid in proper repairs. Very handy and simple to use. I remodel homes and it's proven invaluable in showing home owners where their moisture problems are coming from and visible evidence as to repairs needed. Great for boat (weak transom areas...) and wood inspections as well. If you are a wood worker it's invaluable in grading out pieces of wood to use in your work as well.

Easy to use. Appears to be accurate; a good way to find hidden moisture. There are several scales. For wood, it is a clear measure. For drywall, it is a relative measure. I found that in some areas with drywall, there is a zero reading. But when I measured drywall over a stud, there was a low moisture reading (wood contains moisture); not something to worry about, but an indication of just how well it works. Highly recommend.

This meter is fantastic. It replaced and probe type that I have been using for years. This of course being non-invasive is so much better. Works great and is very easy to use. Well worth the premium price.

Easy to use and understand. Has a new Hold button so you can put the meter under something where you can't see the face of the meter. Push the hold button and the reading doesn't change when you take it off the surface. Push Hold again to release the reading. I have earlier versions, that I paid twice as much for, and like this one better.

Works great for locating behind the wall leaks. We use these for property inspections prior to purchasing and it has been very accurate. It's significantly better than the moisture readers which require you to put holes in the wall.

useful for detecting relative increase in moisture content. Unable to determine accuracy without standards. Purchased in 2014. Used infrequently. Unit checked 2021, no longer functioning. Much better units available for much less money 2022.

The Tramex Moisture is excellent and easy to handle. It beeps when moisture is too high and gives zones to help tell danger of reading ( ie green, yellow and red). It already has made my job much easier.

excellent

The seller contacted me via phone to give me advice and recommendation as to which moisture meter to choose as I was about to change my order. FIVE STARS for the seller. The product works well for what I intended to do which is checking moisture on roofs and walls even though it doesn’t give me the most accurate reading. Used by professionals but feels it’s made out of cheap plastic
