Wagner Meters offers contractors the BI2200 Building Inspection Moisture Meter – a meter specially designed for professionals looking for water intrusions. It provides comparative, relative MC readings for a wide range of common building materials, such as:
● Wood
● Synthetic stucco
● Plaster
● Drywall
● Ceramic tile
● Insulation materials
● Shingles
● Linoleum
● Concrete slabs and foundation walls
● Roofing
● Fiberglass
● And more
The BI2200 is a highly reliable, state-of-the-art tool that accurately reads MC ranging from 5% to 30%. It scans an area 1 ½ inches x 2 ½ inches and measures moisture to a depth of ¾ inches. It also comes with a Teflon® pad to protect the sensor plate from abrasive surfaces. This Teflon® abrasion pad is easily replaceable when it becomes worn or the edges loosen. With only two buttons to push, the BI2200 is easy to operate with just one hand. And it safely penetrates through paint, varnish, wallpaper, tiles, and roofing felt.
Contractors who use the BI2200 moisture meter report that the "press and hold" feature enables the large, easy-to-read digital display to hold the reading once the meter is removed. This makes it easy to quickly and easily document MC readings, even in tight places – such as beneath a sink, under a cabinet overhang, or in a tight corner – where the display cannot be readily seen.
