Dryzone Moisture Meter Detector – Damp Meter for Wood, Masonry and Other Building Materials

Product works well as intended and good price. No complaints. Easy to use.

Very pleased with this unit. Seems well built. display is very clear and simple to understand. However, you need to be aware it is not calibrated for masonry. So you can get comparative readings, ie compare a dry area of wall with one you think is damp, but the readings have no absolute meaning in % terms. This does enable you to plot areas of damp penetration very accurately so it served my purpose but the calibrated % moisture content readings are only valid for wood. Good value for the quality of the product, instructions are very clear on how to, for example, plot rising damp.

Seems accurate and consistent, easy to use (but DO read the manual, if only for tips on how to find more meaning in the results). Guess I shouldn't be too surprised that it works -- how hard is it to wet a piece of wood or brick and test that? But it seems to work, regardless. Reasonably well built, too. Only slight annoyance is that the cap is tight and the inner prongs have little silicone sleeves that you could easily loose, but good that there IS a cap, and that the sleeves are included, I suppose.

Brilliant piece of kit for not a lot of money,very helpful for finding any damp issues .

Does the job. We have rising damp. A pro told us no.

For the price, a nice handy bit of kit.

So, I bought this to test moisture in hardwood floorboards after suffering a leak in our kitchen that flooded the place. As you can imagine hardwood dry to be super hard and as the wood started to dry out more pressure is needed to get to the inner moisture. You don't just want surface moisture as that's not the true state. Anyway, after a few days of drying the plastic on the inside thats moulded over the probe bolt broke so probe disappeared into the housing making the unit defunct. So, I opened the device up and could see what was wrong, and quickly fixed it by simply unsrewing the probe from the bolt and placing 2 washers on the ouside so creating a nice firm base between the bolt and the probe spike. So far, only one side broke, however it feels much stronger and stable with both sides being more strongly secured with help of washers. P.S. I used 2 washers, but you could likeky get away with one.

Used this to check for motorhome dampness. It's hard to know how accurate it is, but it did show the moisture level steadily decreasing after a sealant repair so it did the job I needed it to do. Simple to useb and easy to read.
