Frequently asked questions
What exactly does non-destructive mean?
Devices with measuring pins are pushed into the material and leave two small holes. The Hydro Check works inductively instead: you place the sensor on the surface and read the value. Nothing is left behind on parquet, exposed concrete, plaster or furniture, and you can quickly scan an area instead of checking individual points.
Why do I have to select the material first?
Wood, concrete and brick react differently to the measuring field, so each material has its own limits. By selecting the mode, the device adjusts the colour scale so that blue, yellow and red are really correct for the respective building material.
Does the device replace an oven-dry test or a CM meter?
No. The Hydro Check is an indicator device: it shows quickly and without damage where it is damp and how drying is progressing. For readiness for covering according to the standard, the CM measurement remains decisive. In practice you use the Hydro Check to narrow down the critical spots and only check those in detail.

The CONDTROL Hydro Check measures the moisture in wood, concrete, brick and stone without damaging the surface. Instead of inserting pins, the tool scans the material inductively: place the sensor and read the value. The scanning depth is 19 to 40 mm. Free shipping in Germany, 2+1 years' warranty.
Benefits at a glance
- No holes, no scratches: the inductive method works without pins. You can measure on finished surfaces, parquet or plastered walls without leaving a trace.
- Up to 40 mm deep: you see not only the surface but also what the material underneath looks like.
- Colour scale instead of guessing numbers: blue means normal, yellow elevated, red critical. Plus a tone that beeps repeatedly in the red zone.
- Four material modes: building materials, brick and stone, softwood and hardwood. The colour scale limits adapt to the selected material.
- Colour display: readable even in bright light and sunshine.
- HOLD function: freezes the reading when you measure in a spot where you can't see the display.
- Integrated torch: lights up the measuring point, for example in a crawl space or behind built-in units.
- Switch-off after 10 minutes: saves the battery when the tool is left lying around.
Applications
Construction and renovation: check whether screed and plaster are ready for covering, narrow down damp spots on walls, track drying after water damage.
Wood: assess residual moisture of construction timber and firewood, check storage conditions, measure before laying parquet and floorboards.
Checking a property: scan cellars, external walls and corners before buying or renting, without leaving marks.
Special functions
Inductive measurement
The tool generates an electromagnetic field and evaluates how the material reacts to it. That's why the surface remains untouched and you can scan large areas quickly instead of piercing at individual points.
Four material modes
You can choose between building materials (plaster, concrete walls, cement floors, tiled surfaces, ceilings), brick and natural stone, softwood and hardwood. The right mode matters because every material reflects moisture differently.
Measuring ranges
Wood 2 to 65%, building materials 0.1 to 35%, masonry 0.1 to 20%.
Shipping & warranty
Free shipping within Germany. Manufacturer's warranty 2 years + 1 year after registration (2+1).
