Description
Overview:
The Faithfull Damp & Moisture Meter LCD Display, model EM4806, is a compact handheld meter for checking moisture content in wood and common building materials. Housed in a durable plastic body with a protective probe cover, it uses pin-type probes to deliver fast, reliable readings on a clear backlit LCD, making it easy to use in dim areas such as lofts, basements, or site interiors. As well as moisture, it measures ambient temperature for context when diagnosing damp. It is suitable for trades and DIY, helping assess timber, plaster, concrete, mortar, paper, and cardboard before fixing, finishing, or storage. The EM4806 is a practical choice on building sites, in workshops, and around garden structures where accurate moisture checks support better results and reduce rework.
