Home Inspection tool – S4-P package with mini-Ligno SD/C moisture meter

Check out this video to see the versatility Lignomat moisture meters have to offer when measuring wood, drywall and other building materials.

Package S4-P

The S4-P home inspection package is used to detect moisture problems in buildings. That can be a tricky job, because moisture hides behind structural components and travels, wherever it finds a path. It is often impossible to reach these trouble spots with the integral pins of a handheld meter. An external electrode is required. The multi-purpose electrode E14-m is specifically designed for that purpose.

The E14-m is also used for woodworking and flooring, especially for measuring materials too hard for the meter pins to be pushed in by hand.

The package consists of:

Applications

For inspection, construction, restoration and building maintenance. To check for moisture intrusion in wood, drywall and other moisture sensitive building materials.

Electrode E14-m is used when the integral pins of the mini-Ligno S/DC meter cannot reach the areas to be measured, either pins and meter housing do not fit into the space (corners) or pins are not measuring deep enough. Add EL pins for measuring 7″ deep.

Advantages

The mini-Ligno S/DC moisture meter measures hardwoods, softwoods and panel products and has percent scales for drywall, exterior and interior wall boards and a reference scale for concrete (add E16) and other building materials.

The slim Electrode E14-m is designed to measure hard-to-reach corners, under base boards, around window frames. Handle is extendable to reach ceilings and floors easily. Teflon-coated pins measure moisture at different depth levels even behind a wet surface. Electrode and EG pins are strong enough to be hammered into hard materials even cementitious panels.
