Extech Introduces New Inspection Tools For Building, HVAC, and Maintenance Diagnostics


Professionals in building inspection, restoration, HVAC, automotive, and maintenance work are often asked to do more in less time—without sacrificing accuracy. That is why Extech has introduced two new solutions designed to simplify inspections and help users identify issues faster: the Extech MO5xA-Series Moisture Meters and the Extech BR95 Video Borescope. Together, these tools give professionals a more efficient way to detect hidden moisture, inspect hard-to-reach spaces, and reduce unnecessary guesswork in the field.
The new Extech MO5xA-Series is built to help professionals locate and assess moisture quickly across a wide range of building materials. Whether the job involves drywall, concrete, mortar, tile, ceilings, or flooring, the series offers multiple options to match the application. All three models feature a high-contrast color LCD with backlight, along with intuitive indicators and audible alerts that speed up as moisture levels rise, making results easier to interpret in real time.
The MO50A is a compact pin-type meter designed for fast, accurate readings in wood and common building materials. The MO55A adds flexibility with both pin and pinless measurement modes, making it useful for both direct measurement and non-invasive scanning. The MO57A offers fast, pinless moisture detection with a ball probe that glides smoothly across delicate or uneven surfaces and can detect moisture deeper below the surface. Together, the series gives users a practical, scalable solution for everything from quick spot checks to more comprehensive moisture investigations.

The Extech BR95 Video Borescope gives inspectors and technicians a better way to see inside tight, dark, or inaccessible spaces without disassembly. Its compact, palm-sized design, 5.5 mm waterproof IP67 probe, and 1 m flexible gooseneck cable make it easy to maneuver inside ducts, wall cavities, engines, and other confined areas. A 1280 × 720 HD camera, 3.5-inch IPS display, built-in LED lighting, and 3× digital zoom help users capture clear visuals and identify problems quickly.
The BR95 is also expandable with optional probes for carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and relative humidity (RH), turning it into a multifunction diagnostic tool for more advanced inspections. That added flexibility makes it well suited for HVAC inspections, indoor air quality checks, building diagnostics, and automotive troubleshooting.
Both the MO5xA-Series and BR95 are designed to help users move more quickly from detection to diagnosis. Moisture meters with clear visual and audible feedback help identify suspect areas faster, while the BR95 enables non-invasive inspections in places that would otherwise require teardown or exploratory work. This can reduce labor time, speed troubleshooting, and help teams make decisions sooner.
Inspection work often depends on seeing what is hidden—whether that means moisture behind walls or damage inside a duct or engine. The MO5xA-Series helps users confirm moisture presence with confidence, while the BR95 provides direct visual access to hard-to-reach areas. Together, these tools improve accuracy and reduce the uncertainty that can lead to repeat work or missed issues.
The ability to inspect without unnecessary demolition or disassembly can save both time and money. Pinless moisture scanning reduces the need to damage surfaces during testing, and the BR95 helps teams look inside spaces before opening them up. This means fewer repairs, more efficient workflows, and lower overall inspection costs.
From restoration projects and home inspections to HVAC service, automotive diagnostics, and general maintenance, Extech’s latest inspection tools are built for the realities of field work. They combine portability, ease of use, and dependable performance to help professionals work faster and with greater confidence. Whether you are trying to find hidden moisture or inspect what cannot be seen from the outside, these tools are designed to help you diagnose problems earlier and solve them more efficiently.
The MO5xA-Series Moisture Meters and BR95 Video Borescope are designed to make inspections faster, clearer, and more efficient.
