Tools Required For Home Inspection

Following tools should be a part of Home Inspector toolkit!

1. Moisture meter

A good quality moisture meter is a must in every home inspectors toolkit. It is required to measure moisture content in various building components and to check for active water leaks. There are many cheap moisture meters available but believe me a home inspector who uses them is not doing justice to their clients. At RK Home Inspections we carry the very best "Surveymaster Protimeter" by GE which is by far the industry standard for highest quality.
