    Customers are mixed about the quality of the humidity meter. Some mention it's reliable and easy to use, while others say it'll damage wood. It measures moisture in several materials, and can quickly see the moisture distribution.

    This was proof my house was soaked - INSIDE!

    This was proof my house was soaked - INSIDE!
    I bought this because of a disaster. I had actually two contractors, because the first got fired half way through, who didn't cover my roof for almost a whole month during down pours and snow. My house was literally raining inside! I showed the "project manager" whom I thought was the contractor how much water was running down my walls. This is the space in my living room between two windows. He said, "what does OL mean?" Really? "OVERLOAD". It is overloaded with water! I just laid my hand on the wall and showed him all the water on my hand. Do you know what his response was? "It's our of my scope of work". This happened January/February of 2021. I am actually sitting here in paperwork up to the ceiling ready to go fight this head on to the lead people in charge of this program in Washington DC.. No lawyer or contractor will help. Long story and I can't say much. But it is showing proof that my house is ruined. It is a very expensive home renovation loan.
