USING THE LATEST EQUIPMENT
Not only is Your Building Inspector experienced, licensed and insured – each inspector is also equipped. Our building inspectors carry a moisture meter, thermal sensor and access equipment to every inspection they carry out.
Fully Equipped & Accredited
The moisture meter records differential moisture levels within surfaces such as walls and floors without the need to make holes or damage the property. Your inspector will use this meter if there is visual evidence of moisture damage within the property. The moisture meter also identifies termite risk areas by reading the concentrated presence of moisture within the surfaces of the property.
Your inspector will use a thermal imaging sensor within your inspection if visual evidence of termite activity is discovered. This thermal imaging device identifies heat sources generated by termites within building surfaces and helps to trace the termite nest and entry points in the building.
