Building and home inspectors must test moisture conditions in a variety of surfaces and sub surfaces. While many Wood Moisture Meters can be used for testing materials with similar densities, a Building Inspection Meter can be used for a multitude of materials, including sheetrock, ceramic tile, plaster, linoleum, roofing, EIFS and more. And as with Pinless Wood Moisture Meters, Non-Destructive Building Inspection Meters can test existing structures and their materials without surface damage.

Because of their multi-material capacities, Building Inspection Moisture Meters typically provide a relative or comparative reading that can help identify potential moisture problem areas.
