OK, there's moisture in everybody's bathroom. However, during my manufactured home inspection, the inspector used a "moisture meter" and detected moisture between the master bath tub and toilet. Some work had been done by the previous owner and his cronies (I now recognize his "signature" from other places in the house) and I later found out that he had put the shower arm into the threaded piece in the wall of the shower/tub without any teflon tape and it was pouring water down between the plastic surround and the wall. Luckily, I have two showers and I won't use the master bath until I am sure it is OK. I fixed the shower arm and now I want to make sure everything is dry. Should I rent or buy a basic moisture meter to check for dryness? I've tried to rent one without success and I don't know if I can buy a cheap one that will do the job. Should I do something else? I am open to suggestions. Thank you.
