Product Information
The right moisture meter makes all the difference! And we've made even more improvements to enhance the Protimeter Surveymaster. This versatile pin and non-invasive moisture meter is ergonomically designed for easy, one-handed operation to measure moisture in buildings, and other related structures, both on and below the surface. Our 2024 model features a larger display for easy reading, automatic calibration checks every 50 power cycles, and user field calibration of the non-invasive mode. Additionally, the battery (2xAA) life is now 3 times longer! The SurveyMaster moisture meter has Bluetooth capabilities to connect to our Protimeter Connect app. This allows you to save and download readings with the time and date stamp. All Protimeter instruments have a two-year warranty.
Applications
- Measures moisture content in various materials using pin and non-invasive modes
- Wall moisture meter for measuring moisture content in wood, drywall, building materials, concrete, fibreglass
- Building surveys, Fire and flood reconstruction, concrete and wooden floors
- Measure moisture on and below the surface to diagnose moisture-related problems in buildings
- Compatible with the wide range of Protimeter plug-in attachments
- Easy to use one-handed operation and connects to the Protimeter Connect App
- For Building Inspectors, Insurance assessors, Builders, Quality Assurance

How it Works
Search Mode Non-Invasive
The search mode is used to assess the moisture level beneath the surface of solid walls and floors independently of the surface conditions. The nominal depth of measurement is 19mm (3/4"); this depends on the density and other characteristics of the material being measured. When held against the surface, the instrument transmits a signal into the material. The relative moisture level is shown on the digital display and its moisture condition is shown on the accompanying scale of colour-coded lights. The measurement presentation helps the user to:
- Look for moisture behind wall and floor coverings such as tile and vinyl
- Assess, in relative terms, if the material is in dry, borderline or damp condition
- Map the extent of the problem numerically
- Non-invasive pinless radio frequency finds moisture at a depth where moisture is not always visible - up to 19mm (3/4") below the surface
This mode of measurement is not adversely affected by the presence of surface moisture
Applications: Shower pans, behind ceramic tile, fine finishes, water stains, tile and vinyl floor coverings, joists, around toilets, drywall, below-grade floors and walls, plaster, masonry, concrete and concrete block
Note: Metal additives in concrete or foil linings can create false positive readings
Measure Mode Pin-Type
This mode is used to measure the moisture level at the surface and incremental depths when used with the auxiliary probes. Measure mode readings are precise to the immediate area of contact of the electrodes. The actual moisture content of wood is shown on the digital display with the corresponding moisture condition shown on the accompanying scale of colour-coded lights. Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) values are shown for other non-conductive, porous building materials.
- Pin-type probes measure moisture in wood and other building materials (use the provided wood calibration chart for more precise readings)
- Deep wall probes establish the presence of moisture in wall cavity insulation, sub and surface structures
- Other probes are available for EIFS, wood floors, baseboards and more
Applications: Wood and wood floors, subfloors, drywall, gyprock, concrete and concrete block, stucco, plaster, masonry and EIFS
