Cheap moisture meter for plasterboard
Posted: March 20th, 2024, 2:22 pm
Had a surveyor round at my place yesterday and, to my surprise (as there's nothing at all visible), he detected damp behind a small section of plasterboard (that's up against a stud). Thinking I might get myself a moisture meter to monitor that I asked him which make & model he had and, well, it's a very expensive one.
There seem to be masses of them available around the £20-30 mark but it's not clear which would be suitable for my usage -- and it doesn't help that the listing for the top product at 10 Best moisture meters for plasterboard says "You are unrecommened to make test on pure drywall..."!
So, anyone got any recommendations for a moisture meter that'll work well for my usage?
