Soil Moisture Meter Prevents Over-watering of Plants
You love your house plants, and you're very good about giving them water and fertilizer, but maybe they just aren't thriving.
Moisture won't get a toehold in spaces covered by central air-conditioning or in the immediate vicinity of a room unit you run regularly. But many homes have a laundry, home shop, or storage room that doesn't really need cooler air, just drier air.
Moisture from inside your house works its way through the attic floor and gets into the attic insulation. Even with a good vapor barrier, this still happens to some extent. Outdoor air flow through the attic is important to carry this moisture away.
Moisture and humidity can be very hard on sisal. For this reason, a sisal rug should be laid down in a dry place which is unlikely to be subject to spills. It is also important to keep this in mind when you clean a sisal rug.
Moisture Scan: A survey of a roof specifically to detect the amount of moisture present in the roof system. Devices used in moisture surveys can be capacitance meters, infrared cameras, and nuclear scanners.
