Protimeter Moisture Meters

Overview

NDTScan uses Protimeter moisture meters to detect and monitor damp, moisture ingress, and latent water-related defects in building structures. These tools are trusted by surveyors, remediation contractors, and building inspectors for reliable, non-destructive moisture readings in timber, plaster, screed, and concrete.

Protimeter is our preferred brand for responsive, field-based moisture investigation, helping prevent mould, material failure, and hidden damage during construction and refurbishment projects.

Continuous Innovation in Moisture Diagnostics

Moisture is one of the most common hidden threats to structural health. Protimeter allows us to identify at-risk materials quickly, confirm drying targets, and verify handover conditions with confidence.

Our Protimeter Moisture Tools

Protimeter Surveymaster: Dual-function moisture meter offering both pin (invasive) and pinless (non-invasive) modes. Ideal for comprehensive wall and flooring assessments.
Protimeter Hygromaster 2: Measures relative humidity, dew point, and temperature for atmospheric diagnostics, often used in drying projects and flood recovery.
Protimeter MMS3: A multi-function diagnostic tool combining moisture, humidity, and temperature sensors. Offers Bluetooth connectivity and data logging.
Moisture Probe Kits: Compatible with Protimeter units for in-depth timber checks, deep screed penetration, and cavity moisture detection.
Data Logging & Reporting Software: Ensures measurement traceability and provides clear outputs for client documentation and insurance claims.

Why We Use Protimeter

Protimeter’s accuracy, durability, and ease of use make it ideal for NDT moisture diagnostics. Whether investigating leaks, assessing damage, or verifying dry conditions before floor fitting, Protimeter gives us reliable results, fast.

Other Tools in Use

For more advanced thermal assessment, we may pair Protimeter with Testo or FLIR thermal imaging. But for fast, targeted moisture checks, Protimeter remains our primary handheld solution.

Building Moisture Inspection UK Services for reliable, Non-Destructive Detection

NDTScan provides expert building moisture inspection UK services using advanced handheld meters to detect, quantify, and monitor moisture presence in structural materials. Whether identifying rising damp, investigating water ingress, or validating drying targets, our moisture inspections help avoid long-term issues such as mould, degradation, or installation failure.

We work across commercial, residential, industrial, and public sector sites, delivering fast, professional moisture readings with minimal disruption. Our surveys are used to inform remediation works, verify build condition, and support insurance or warranty claims with clear, traceable documentation.

Moisture is often invisible but highly destructive. Our equipment ensures nothing is missed, giving developers, contractors, and surveyors confidence in the health and readiness of their buildings.

Trusted Moisture Mapping Across Multiple Materials

Our handheld meters operate on a range of surfaces and substrates, allowing us to:

Detect hidden damp in wall and ceiling systems
Assess screed or concrete readiness before floor fitting
Monitor drying progress after leaks or floods
Investigate rot or decay in timber and joists
Identify vapour traps in insulated wall constructions
Check moisture levels in render, plaster, and masonry

This versatility allows our team to provide reliable results across all project phases, from initial condition surveys to post-remediation validation.

Precision Diagnostics with Field-Proven Tools

Our moisture meters combine invasive and non-invasive technologies to offer both surface and in-depth readings, giving a complete picture of moisture distribution without excessive disruption.

Dual-Function Moisture Meters

These devices use both pin and pinless modes to assess shallow and deeper readings. The pinless sensor scans surface moisture trends, while pin probes provide contact-based confirmation and access to embedded moisture levels in timber or plasterboard.

Atmospheric Measurement Devices

We use hygrometers to measure relative humidity, dew point, and ambient temperature, supporting atmospheric diagnosis and helping confirm whether moisture is atmospheric, structural, or residual. These instruments are vital in drying validation, especially in flood remediation or HVAC fault diagnosis.

Multi-Function Diagnostic Units

Our multi-sensor devices combine moisture, humidity, and temperature measurement in a single handheld unit. They offer Bluetooth syncing, onboard data storage, and configurable alarms, ideal for walk-through surveys or site condition assessments.

Probe and Extension Kits

Compatible deep-wall and floor probes allow us to measure moisture levels in screeds, subfloors, and voids. These probes can be inserted behind skirting, through inspection hatches, or within drill holes to access concealed materials without large-scale disruption.

Moisture Surveys That Prevent Costly Failures

We conduct building moisture inspection UK services to help clients avoid:

Flooring failures due to wet screeds
Timber decay behind dry linings
Hidden leaks in plumbing runs or HVAC systems
Mould growth due to residual dampness
Decoration defects caused by trapped water vapour
Remedial work delays due to incomplete drying

All our measurements are logged, time-stamped, and stored for reporting, enabling us to produce documented evidence suitable for handovers, insurance validation, and dispute resolution.

Used Across Sectors and Survey Types

Our moisture inspections support a broad range of projects:

Pre-occupancy condition checks for housing and commercial units
Insurance assessments following escape-of-water claims
Verification of dry zones before installation of timber or vinyl flooring
Building pathology surveys for refurbishment and restoration projects
Ongoing monitoring during post-flood drying
Leak tracking in internal walls, ceilings, and pipe enclosures

Because our methods are non-destructive and produce immediate results, we’re able to act quickly, either confirming dry conditions or pinpointing problem areas for further remediation.

Digital Reporting and Clear Client Outputs

All moisture inspections include:

Location-referenced readings with photographic evidence
Surface and in-depth moisture values (where applicable)
Atmospheric readings (RH, dew point, temperature)
Moisture profile across materials and elevations
Comments on risk, decay potential, and reinspection needs
Data export in PDF or CSV format

Our reporting is tailored to building professionals, clear, practical, and formatted for use in contractor handovers, warranty submissions, or insurance documentation.

Fast, Portable, and Low Disruption

Our meters are compact, battery-powered, and designed for day-to-day field deployment. We operate across:

Occupied residential and office buildings
Live construction sites and commercial fit-outs
Schools, healthcare, and hospitality properties
Post-incident and insurance-funded remedial sites

No power supply, core cutting, or laboratory support is required, making our process ideal for time-sensitive or operational buildings where downtime is unacceptable.

Moisture as a Hidden Structural Risk

Many defects begin with moisture, from spalling and blistering to structural rot and air quality deterioration. Our building moisture inspection UK service gives clients the tools to intervene early, saving cost, material waste, and disruption.

Moisture measurements can support:

Floor warranty validation for screed drying
Mould prevention in ventilation or HVAC design
reliable fault tracing in pipework leak investigations
Timber structural assessment for long-term load-bearing safety
Repair sign-off after water ingress events or condensation damage

By delivering data at point of inspection, we support fast, confident decision-making that improves outcomes and reduces remedial cycles.
