We offer a hand-picked selection of the best Moisture Meters available in Australia, suitable for various applications. This includes concrete moisture meters for builders and contractors, timber moisture meters for carpenters and woodworkers, and Rapid RH meters for the quickest moisture readings.

2. Why choose Kevmor's moisture meters?

Our moisture meters are made for Australia, designed to provide accurate and reliable readings. With over 42 years of trusted trade supplies offerings, we're dedicated to giving you only the best moisture meters for Australia.

3. Are cheap moisture meters reliable?

While more affordable moisture meters can provide a good indication of moisture levels, Wagner moisture meters are known for their accuracy and reliability. This alone justifies the investment for tradesmen requiring precise or consistent measurements.

4. How does a Wagner pinless moisture meter work?

Wagner pinless moisture meters use an electromagnetic sensor to detect moisture without damaging the surface. They provide quick readings and are highly effective for scanning large areas.

5. What is the difference between a pin and a pinless moisture meter?

Pin moisture meters measure moisture content at the point of contact by penetrating the material, which can be more precise but also invasive. Pinless meters, however, use electromagnetic waves to read moisture levels below the surface without causing damage.

6. What is the ideal moisture content level for drywall?

The ideal moisture content for drywall is typically around 10-12%. However, Wagner moisture meters can help you determine the specific moisture level in your drywall, ensuring that it's within a safe range for your particular climate and building requirements.

7. How do you use a Wagner moisture meter to detect mold risk in walls?

To use a Wagner moisture meter for mold risk detection, scan the wall's surface with the device. Consistently high moisture readings can indicate a higher risk of mold, as mold tends to grow in moist environments. Monitoring these levels can help prevent mold before it starts.

8. Can Wagner moisture meters read through different wall materials?

Yes, Wagner moisture meters are designed to effectively read moisture levels through various materials, including drywall, timber, and concrete. Their advanced technology allows for non-invasive readings with a high degree of accuracy.

9. What factors should I consider when choosing a moisture meter?

When selecting a moisture meter, consider the material types you'll be measuring, the depth of measurement required, whether non-invasive readings are preferred, and the accuracy needed for your projects. Wagner's range of moisture meters gives precise readings for both concrete and timber materials.
