"Tracing the origin of a disaster"

Mr Guillemont, Chartered Surveyor at Guillermain, uses the Humitest Survey moisture meter when conducting surveys.

Assessing the moisture levels

"Our work is mainly related to "structural damage" insurance policies or to ten-year civil liability. Part of our work involves tracing the source of the damage”, said Mr Guillemont. "I always use Humitest® Survey when conducting surveys relating to infiltration or moisture issues. This instrument is used for detecting moisture using radio frequency and for measuring WME levels (wood moisture equivalent), by contacting both electrodes. This enables me to measure the amount of moisture in a wall, for example", says Mr Guillemont.

Reliable and easy to use moisture meter

"When there is no apparent leakage, this instrument enables us to detect the presence or absence of moisture. Therefore, Humitest® is the must have instrument of experts and their results are never in dispute, and we trust it blindly.
Finally, Humitest® Survey is simple to use. You just hold it in one hand, press a button and read the colour coded LCD scale and/or the digital display", said Mr Guillemont.
