Title: Damp Meters
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 28 July 2012, 12:58:17

I need to get a damp meter so had a look on fleabay and I'm abit bamboozled by the choice!  ::)

Cheap is always good and I'm wondering if this one will do the trick.  :-\  It says it's for wood, but there are identical ones listed which say are good for walls as well... So I'm abit confused!  ::)

I know I could spend £50 odd for an all singing and dancing model, but it'll only get occasional use so....  ;)

Thanks for any advice!!  :) :) :)

....as Mr gonads says. :y

I think there will always be an element of damp ..........so I wouldn't expect a reading of zero, even in a " bone dry" home.

I've got a tenant who's claiming the property is damp!  ::)  I've lived in this property so I know full well it's not, but it's funny how houses suddenly become riddled with damp when the tenant starts messing me about with the rent!!  >:(

So when I go and see her I want to take a damp meter, but need to know that it'll work in walls as well as wood...  ;)
