Tramex MEX5 - Accurate Moisture Detection Anywhere
The Tramex Moisture Encounter MEX5 is a powerful, all-in-one moisture meter for water restoration professionals, designed to accurately detect, measure, and monitor moisture and humidity levels in building materials. This advanced digital tool features dual-depth, non-destructive scanning to assess both surface and core moisture in wood, drywall, roofing, plaster, tile, and masonry. Built with a high-resolution display, the MEX5 integrates a hygrometer, infrared surface thermometer, and psychrometric analysis, providing real-time data on ambient conditions including dew point, GPP, and humidity ratio. Optional external pin and in-situ RH probes offer even greater precision for deep moisture diagnostics and concrete slab testing. Ideal for mapping water damage, verifying drying progress, and generating detailed moisture reports, this restoration moisture meter syncs with the Tramex App for easy moisture mapping, geotagging, and reporting. Compact, durable, and extremely accurate, the MEX5 is an essential instrument for restoration, inspection, and environmental monitoring professionals.
