## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could this device provide accurate moisture readings of residential wall cavities following, for example, a flood?**
A: It really only measures moisture that is within 1/2" of the surface. For example I have a leaky toilet in a bathroom and the subfloor is saturated with water. I have to push the prongs through the surface of the flooring until it reaches the wet subfloor, in order to get a reading. If you need something for reading deep within a wall, you will need an invasive meter which has really long prongs that can be fed through test holes that you drill into the affected area. If you want to test deep within areas such as several inches, the only way is through destructive inspection, pinless moisture meters, and in some cases infrared cameras. extech is one of the most trusted meter brands and I am very happy with my purchase. It works best for measuring the moisture content of wood specifically at the test location. If there was a flood and the surface appears dry but you have some suspension as to what's going on several inches into the wall cavity, this meter will not help.

**Q: Does this work with painted concrete masonry?**
A: Expect you would have to push the meter probes through the paint layer to get a good reading.

**Q: Can i use it for paper?**
A: The Extech MO50 takes quick Moisture level reference measurements (in percent %) on wood and building materials. The measurement range for building materials is Low: 1.5% to 16.9%; Medium: 17% to 19.9%; High: 20 to 33%. If the expected moisture percentage of the paper is expected to fall at or above 1.5% then the MO50 Compact Pin Moisture Meter would work appropriately.

**Q: Anyone know the percent accuracy?**
A: Thank you so much for your interest in our products. The accuracy for the MO50 is ±3.0% for ambient conditions 22 C to 25 C (72 F to 77 F). Check all the features off this device here http://www.extech.com/products/resources/MO50_UM-en.pdf
