The meter rang on moisture you could see with your eyes. Remarkeable. Such indispensible technology.

We were sold a house (brand new) wth leaks -_-. I am going to try this out on our walls.

The moisture meter only indicates the dampness of the surface. The location of the dampness like what you mentioned in your last few sentences that it may not be where the leak is. Hacking your wall without knowing the source of the leak may be very costly. Regards, TLD.

Useless information.this will only tell you that there is a possibility of water behind the wall without a visual inspection.The dry wall has to be removed for a closer examination.Most of the time when water is behind a wall you will begin to know it's appearance by flaking plaster or something of that nature on the dry wall. Which besides this gadget will not pin point the source of the leak since the leak could be coming from outside penetrating the building. For sure this device would help as a preventative when buying a house but you would have to inspect every square inch since water could come in at any point or be anywhere.

I HAVE A LEAK FROM UNDER MY DISHWASHER BUT IT DOES NOT LEAK WHEN THE DISHWASHER RUNS BUT INSTEAD IT LEAKS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL WHEN I TURN THE FAUCET ON OUTSIDE, DOES ANYBODY KNOWS THE REASON FOR THIS LEAK??

Would it work on a wall with ceramic tiles?

[AmatriceBand]

well you already knew where the weak spot was. The big question is how much RH% is high enough so you'd have to open the drywall or leave it
