8 Best Rated Moisture Meter For Home Inspectors 2023

Orion 950 smart pinless moisture meters featuring accuracy, versatility, and quality

Built with a non-damaging pinless sensor, IntelliSense technology, and backed with a 7-year warranty

Virtually unaffected by temperature of the wood or the environment

Every Orion meter comes with an on-demand calibrator to easily calibrate your meter

Easily set the wood species you need to measure. Includes a Relative (comparative) measurement mode for non-solid wood measurement applications on treated wood, drywall and other materials

HUMIDITY SENSOR: Our handy meter tool can quickly determine what level of remediation is needed to keep your family safe from black mold. High levels of dampness that go untreated are the leading cause of harmful fungus growth in the home.

WATER LEAK DETECTOR: Finding the moisture content in your wood or drywall is the first step in early prevention. Continuously check and test suspicious water stains around the house so you can determine whether the area is wet or has already dried.

MOISTURE READER: The mold test features large 0.3" high digits in a backlit LCD for quick and easy detecting. Our mildew scanner includes extra 8mm stainless steel pins, a protective cap that doubles as a calibration checker, and a “9V” battery.

MOLD TESTER: For an accurate test read, stick the stainless steel pins into the surface of what you're measuring. The gauge has a broad range of 5 - 50% for wood and 1.5 - 33% for building materials such as concrete and drywall.

GENERAL TOOLS: We're a recognized leader in designing and developing specialized precision tools dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service. We encourage artisans and DIYers to work smarter, measure better, and repair more productively.

WATER LEAK DETECTOR detects moisture content from leaks and flooding

PINLESS MOISTURE METER measures moisture content in building materials

NONDESRUCTIVE DETECTION up to 3/4-Inch deep using Electromagnetic field (EMF) technology

USE ON DRYWALL, MASONRY, HARDWOOD, AND SOFTWOOD; calibrated for these materials only

REVERSE-CONTRAST DISPLAY for easy viewing of reading and nine LED bars to indicate moisture range

FULL FEATURE TOOL includes hold, low battery, and auto-power off functions

COMPLETE MOISTURE METER KIT includes meter with 2m drop protection, 9V battery, and instruction manual

ESTIMATE MOISTURE CONTENT QUICKLY AND EASILY – detector offers ideal dual functions of pin and pinless sensors in one. Use the pinless pad as a quick “ranging” feature to scan a large area for suspect areas without leaving holes. Then, switch to pins to quantify moisture level at various depths

PERFECT FOR HOME INSPECTIONS – Use the pad for quick non-invasive pinless scanning to find locations with higher than average moisture behind a wall or under a floor. CAUTION: Powerful pinless pad sensor measures to ¾” but can be influenced by materials up to 2 inches below subject material (e.g., metal screws, nails, workbench supports, etc.) Keep fingers clear of pad scanning area. Use pad to detect variations from normal and use pins to quantify it.

CHECK LUMBER AND HARDWOOD BEFORE BUILDING AND WOODWORKING – Use the pins to know the moisture content of your wood to make sure you’re not using damp, moist wood on your projects to avoid cracks, splits, warping. Ensure wood flooring has acclimated before installing

EASY TO USE – Large easy-to-read backlit display. Sturdy, hand-friendly tester body feels solid when pressing replaceable pins into materials. Hold key freezes reading. Test lumber or porous building materials – drywall, carpet, brick, concrete and plaster

WOOD MOISTURE METER: Prevent water and moisture build-up with our humidity reader. It can quickly determine what level of remediation is needed to keep your family safe. High levels of dampness that go untreated can cause hazardous living conditions.

PROTECT YOUR WORK SURFACE: This tool has no pins, so it won't mar, scratch, or damage walls. It features auto-calibrating, a 2" diagonal backlit LCD screen, a 3-color LED bar graph, a hold button, and an audible alert for fast and accurate detection.

DEEP READER: It can read the levels up to 3/4" (19mm) deep into the surface with a broad measurement range of 0 to 53% for softwood, 0 to 35% for hardwood, and relative readings for wallboard, drywall, and masonry.

MOLD DETECTOR: Early prevention is vital when stopping mold formation. Check and test suspicious water stains around the house to determine if the area is wet or has already dried. It includes an out-of-range alarm and a low 9V battery alert.

GENERAL TOOLS: We have been a recognized leader in the innovation, design, and development of specialized precision tools for many years. We encourage craftspeople, artisans, and DIYers to work smarter, measure better, and increase productivity.
