Laserliner DampCheck Moisture Meter for Building Materials (082.003E)

Building inspectors and renovation contractors rely on the Laserliner DampCheck to quickly assess moisture conditions in walls, floors, and wood without leaving probe holes. Its capacitive sensor scans to a depth of 20–40 mm, giving a relative reading on a clear LCD with bar graph, while an LED wet/dry indicator and acoustic alarm signal critical levels at a glance.

Why choose it

Non-destructive testing means no damage to surfaces, making it ideal for final inspections and moisture mapping. The automatic self-calibration ensures consistent readings, and the acoustic alarm lets you work without constantly watching the display.

Ideal use cases

• Checking moisture in walls and floors before painting or tiling
• Assessing wood moisture in beams, floors, and furniture
• Locating moisture ingress in building diagnostics
• Verifying dryness after water damage restoration

Good to know

The DampCheck is designed for quick relative measurements; for absolute moisture content in wood or building materials, refer to material-specific conversion tables. The auto-off function preserves battery life between uses.
