My unfinished basement has a moisture problem. There is efflorescence on the walls and papers/books absorb moisture over time. The basement walls are cinder block. The house was built in 1965 (little or no built-in basement moisture protection). I don't have a dehumidifier.
I'd like to measure and track the basement humidity. Can someone recommend a humidity meter that is accurate enough to be useful, but is not too expensive. The $10 Accurite digital indoor thermometer/humidity meters are popular but some customer reviews criticize the accuracy of their humidity measurement. How much accuracy is needed for basement moisture control?
