Find Moisture Faster: Introducing the Extech MO5xA-Series
Find Moisture Faster: Introducing the Extech MO5xA Series
Moisture is one of the most common—and costly—issues in building inspection, restoration, and maintenance. Whether hidden behind walls, trapped under flooring, or embedded deep within materials, undetected moisture can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and long-term performance issues.
That’s why fast, accurate detection matters.
With the launch of the Extech MO5xA-Series Moisture Meters, professionals now have a more flexible and intuitive way to locate and assess moisture across a wide range of applications. Designed for building inspectors, restoration contractors, and maintenance teams, the MO50A, MO55A, and MO57A deliver reliable readings, improved visibility, and simple interpretation—helping users move from detection to decision faster.
Built for Real-World Conditions
In the field, conditions are rarely ideal. Low lighting, tight spaces, and time-sensitive inspections require tools that are both easy to use and dependable. The MO5xA-Series is designed with these realities in mind.
Each meter features a high-contrast color LCD with backlight, ensuring readings are easy to see in any environment. Intuitive display icons and audible alerts that increase with moisture levels allow users to quickly identify problem areas without constantly interpreting numbers. The result is faster inspections, reduced guesswork, and more confident decisions.
Three Tools, One Complete Moisture Solution
The MO5xA-Series gives professionals the flexibility to choose the right tool for the job—whether they need precise measurements, non-invasive scanning, or both.
MO50A: Simple, Accurate Moisture Detection
The Extech MO50A is a compact pin-type moisture meter designed for quick and accurate readings across materials such as wood, drywall, concrete, and mortar. It delivers dependable results when precision matters most, while features like Data Hold allow users to freeze readings for easier documentation.
A high-contrast display and audible alert that increases with moisture levels make it easy to interpret results on the spot. Complete with installed and spare pins, a protective cap, and batteries, the MO50A is ready to go right out of the box—making it a practical, everyday tool for fast moisture checks.
MO55A: Flexible Detection with Pin and Pinless Modes
The Extech MO55A adds versatility by combining pin and pinless measurement capabilities in a single device. Users can switch between invasive testing for precise readings and pinless scanning up to 1 inch (25 mm) deep for non-destructive inspections.
This flexibility is especially valuable in restoration work, where moisture may be hidden beneath flooring, tile, or behind walls. With clear visual indicators and an audible alert that speeds up as moisture increases, the MO55A helps users quickly identify and confirm moisture issues while minimizing surface damage.
MO57A: Fast, Non-Invasive Scanning
The Extech MO57A is designed for quick, non-destructive moisture detection. Its pinless ball probe glides smoothly across surfaces, allowing users to scan large areas without damaging materials.
With a measurement depth of up to 4 inches (100 mm), the MO57A is ideal for detecting deeper moisture beneath surfaces. The high-contrast display, intuitive icons, and audible alerts provide immediate feedback, while Data Hold enables users to capture readings for later review. From ceilings and baseboards to uneven materials, the MO57A helps users quickly identify moisture-prone areas while preserving surface integrity.
Designed to Work the Way You Do
Across inspection, restoration, and maintenance workflows, time and accuracy are critical. The MO5xA-Series is built to support both.
By combining clear visual feedback, audible alerts, and versatile measurement options, these tools simplify the process of locating and assessing moisture. Professionals can move quickly from identifying a potential issue to confirming its severity—without switching tools or second-guessing results.
Confidence in Every Measurement
Moisture issues often start small but can quickly escalate if left undetected. Having the right tools makes all the difference.
With the Extech MO5xA-Series, professionals can confidently detect moisture in a variety of materials and environments—whether performing routine inspections, responding to water damage, or verifying repairs. The ability to quickly identify hidden moisture helps prevent costly damage, improve project outcomes, and ensure work is done right the first time.
From Detection to Decision
The Extech MO5xA Series is more than a set of tools—it’s a complete solution for moisture detection. By making it easier to find, interpret, and act on moisture readings, these meters help professionals work faster and with greater confidence.
Because when you can clearly see the problem, you can solve it sooner.
