There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The tester worked well if held FLAT against the wall. Of course the % moisture indication could not be verified, but in my case all I needed to know was the boundry between 100% and 0% moisture. This measurement was repeatable, allowing me to mark the boundary.
It was a VERY difficult problem to solve. I initially searched for leaking pipes, a roof leak, etc. I finally decided that a calcium chloride desiccant bag that had been hanging near the closet wall must have sprung a leak. This contaminated area absorbed moisture to a point of equilibrium and remained wet regardless of running a dehumidifier for weeks.
NOTE: Never use a desiccant container containing calcium chloride where a leak could splll on any absorbent surface. It will NEVER dry out and can not be cleaned off.
