The Good, the Bad & the Ugly of Temperature & Humidity Levels
How can a simple moisture meter keep you safe? If there’s one thing molds love, it’s moisture. In fact, they thrive in it. That’s why during home restoration inspections and building surveys, it’s not uncommon to find stachybotrys
(black mold) or alternaria in damp areas. It’s especially present in buildings with flood damage. Just because these moisture problems are out of sight doesn’t mean that they should be out of mind. Invisible moisture problems can lead to mold growth, which can cause unsettling smells and even serious respiratory issues.
The Triplett MS150 is a must have for any building inspector or water restoration personnel. Also used in applications such as Lumber Yards, Painting, Paper Mills, Textile, Clothing Manufacturing, and other industries. Use the pinless measurement (6 to 99.9%) for non-invasive relative moisture measurements to a 1” (25mm) depth thus avoiding putting holes into the important building materials.
Other features include:
- Audible indicator increases as the moisture level gets higher
- Low, Medium, High moisture level icons
- Lock button freezes measurement on screen for hard to see areas
- Built-in calibration check
- Low battery warning
- Complete with protective cap, replacement pins and 9V battery
The MS150 is a great tool to have and can help you save time and money by pointing out areas of potential future problems if left untreated.
