Usage Story

The case of a pipe burst in a kitchen of a residential home in North Las Vegas area had us rushing to the location in a very short period of time. After a free assessment of the situation we discovered that the pipe burst has led to extensive water damage to the flooring of the kitchen as well as in the cabinets and counters – all of which were made of wood.

After we have used our other equipments to dry out the excessive water around the kitchen, we used our Delmhorst Moisture meter to assess the presence of moisture content in the wooden flooring, cabinets and counters. However, we found that there is still a high moisture content in all of these areas, especially the flooring, which could not be totally salvaged only by drying. This flooring would definitely be extremely dangerous if not replaced immediately, which we did, as soon as possible.

A moisture meter as effective as the Delmhorst moisture meter helped us correctly assess the situation and take necessary steps on time.
