The Tramex Moisture Encounter 5 (ME5) is a highly advanced moisture meter that is designed to provide quick and accurate moisture measurements and evaluations for a wide range of materials. The ME5 features a dual-depth penetration system that allows users to test both surface and core moisture levels, and is capable of detecting elevated moisture levels through a variety of materials without the need to damage or puncture them.
The Tramex ME5 is also an ideal tool for pest control professionals and building inspectors who need to identify the presence of termites. A higher-than-normal moisture level can often be an indication of termite activity, as these pests require moist, humid conditions to survive. By using the ME5 to test for elevated moisture levels, pest control professionals and building inspectors can identify potential termite infestations before they become more widespread.
