The New DryZone Damp Meter (unboxing) at £16 is it as good as a Protimeter at £900?

[@sergiofernandez3725]

Looks like a nice little damp meter. Good job Simon.

[@dampsam]

It’s ok to have in the glove box when iv not got all mi surveying stuff with me

[@sergiofernandez3725]

@@dampsam It would also be good for the DIY or Homeown if they suspect damp/condesation. As you say a lot in your videos it is all about how to interep the results to formulate an action plan.

[@thomaselston4680]

they sell moisture metres in Aldi every now and again as well can always use the old fashioned way to test for damp see dry tissue sticks to the wall don't knock it till you've tried it 😂😂

[@xxbaldycoupxx]

I had grown a beard by the time this was finished🙄 I just wanted to know if it was a decent meter. Video could have been 2 minutes without the waffle 😅

[@dampsam]

I’ll bare that in mind 🥴

[@ianroughley1933]

Great for a before and after on the use of the rods or cream ( given air/room conditions are mostly the same 6 or 12 months after the application). Just on that note, I've heard (on you tube) that dry rods are only good for 10 to 15 years? Maybe its the same for the creams I'm not sure. Or is that just some you tube bullsh*t?

[@dampsam]

Dry rods will last as long as the house is there, they only start to work when in contact with moisture

[@ianseward9928]

Shoudve compared the two to test the cheap one

Hey Sam, could you do a video on using damp meters?

[@dampsam]

Yes I’ll sort one out

[@johnrhodes9102]

Hi you might know Malcom cook then I started with Sovereign chemicals then nubex tenico organics then safeguard as a Damproofer not doing it now but still interested. Regards John

[@dampsam]

Yes Malcolm is on mi Facebook, I think he’s at Triton who have just been taken over by Wykomol

[@leegrainger9960]

Where did you buy it from Sam? I've just looked on the site and they are £25???

[@dampsam]

I bought it straight from Safeguard, I have an account

[@markmcgrath4853]

very good video sam !

[@dampsam]

Thanks Mark

[@petermurphy4662]

What damp meters do you use for surveys, great channel

[@dampsam]

Iv a few protimeters for the main surveys in my surveying bag but iv a small DryZone damp meter which I have all the time. I’ll be trialing another cheap one in a few weeks when the company sends it through

[@gtibruce]

Can you use one of these to find where your car is raining into if you know what i mean?

[@dampsam]

Of course you can they are all singing and dancing 💃🏼

[@terrytibbs3336]

Can this check for damp plaster?

[@dampsam]

They all can if the meter is used correctly and patterns interpreted

[@leegrainger9960]

I think the bldg is short for building

[@dampsam]

Could be ?

[@xxbaldycoupxx]

Of course it does! Jeeeze!!

[@penman1289]

Bang wang hahahahahaha sounds like my last date.

[@thomaselston4680]

you're probably find all the meters are made in the same factory the longer the company's been around the more expensive it is that's due to tax like ox tools they approach big companies and put their name on them because I haven't been around as long thy Art cheaper

[@dampsam]

Really ?

[@richardwalker6417]

Lost the beard fella, had to check this wasn't an older video🤣🤣

[@dampsam]

That’s nice Sam mi twin 😉

[@darrensmith7853]

cheap meter but no one meter should ever be used to diagnose rising damp.

[@dampsam]

If it’s rising damp an experienced survey wouldn’t need a meter. You will see it.

[@paulsmith4362]

What happened to the beard

[@dampsam]

That’s mi nicer twin brother. 👍

@@dampsam Sorry mate I prefer the beard as it gives you a bit of character, without it you are back to looking like a pub bouncer 🙂
