I had some water leak into my basement and a small section of caprpeting get wet. Can this tell me if it as well as the padding is dry now

Hey Ray, as this is not what the tool was designed for, the results would be unreliable at best. That said, this tool does a very good job at measuring even small levels of moisture in sheetrock and wood. If you only have a small section of carpet, best bet is to tear it out and put new in. Carpet is cheap compared to mold problems that might come along if even a small section remains wet under the carpet.

I've used it in consistent rain and 1 downpour without issue. I removed it from my bike and dried it off once I got to my destination but never saw any indication that it would leak.

The case as ive used it is sealed and waterproof. That said I would only use it under water for a meter or two. Anymore and the pressure may affect the case. You have to test the case first to ensure there is no seepage. Still the best all weather case I have used.

Hard to say, sorry for that unclear answer. I wouldn't be surprised if it did, it depends on what other entryways it has. It's all based on pressure. If you cap it off, you're putting a cap on the 2liter soda bottle. If the bottle doesn't have another hold in it, or in the case of your basement, cracks in the foundation floor, where the floor meets the walls, etc, then yes, you should see a drop. The only real way to be sure of a drop is to exhaust the radon, a project you'd clearly like to avoid. This is a 5 star cover, but understand to do it right, you'll need to drill some holes in your floor around the sump opening and then caul/seal the bottom.

I have not had any moisture problem. I've had the bag for a few years. It currently resides in my basement which sometime can get to 55 F or less. I also have not changed the water or opened it since purchase, just hang, move, and re hang... don't know if this would affect it. Update: I probably should include I am in the Mid East USA - I get a wide variety of weather, but rarely any extremes.

You will have to collect a water sample the size of the cap (the bottom grey section in the pic) and test that. It's water proof but I would not submerge it and try to use it.

I have had the product laying in front of my very large garage door since last June. It tends to continue to absorb moisture when on concrete. However when I placed it in the sun on a wood deck it dried up right away. Even when it continues to absorb water, it is not a problem. There is never any drippage. The material appears to be very similar to what is in a child's diaper. I expect it expands and contracts depending on the amount of moisture in it. If it is still retaining moisture it is just heavier to handle. I do know that they will eventually disintegrate, but I am not seeing any signs of it yet and it has gotten a lot of use. It was well worth the $50 that I spent for peace of mind. I have not had a drop of water in my garage or house since placing this down in front of the garage door. But if it is used in the area with a car, the directions say that it is important that it not be driven over because it could puncture. However, I have driven over it twice by mistake and it does not appear to have done any damage.

Had mine for 2+ years and still dry as a bone. Assembled properly, there shouldn't be any issue with water leaks.

It depends how bad it is leaking but on a new one it shouldn't be noticeable. It is not uncommon for them to leak a little with wear.

I am really not sure. I have not left it under pressure for longer than maybe a day or two. (And only then because I forgot.) Did not seem to be a problem.

It should. If you have a leak under the concrete the area should be hotter than other areas of the basement floor. I like how this works and is one of the easier ones to use and well worth the money if you have other uses for it. I found a lot of cold spots and air lease in a house I am working on using the instrument.

None for me. We have a pretty dry basement. Could be a moisture issue where you store it...

You can dry the sensor and hold the button at the same time and it should reset. If the alarm is still sounding then that means that there is moisture inside the actual alarm portion. Please contact our office if we can help further.

It would probably dry out on its own but the moisture would be in the air in your basement. I would recommend taking it outside after it absorbs the moisture and let it dry outdoors.

I put a waterproof pad on the cushion to protect it from that very problem. It works very well.

Yes as far as i have found the water runs off the cushion in droplets, and stains so far have done the same thing with a quick rub of a damp cloth. There must be a weatherproof/spillproof coating on the cushion already..

I don't think so, this is just a rubber protector and conditioner. It helps to keep rubber from drying out. Sounds like you might be beyond that. But you might give it a try if the leak is not to bad.
