We use industry‑leading diagnostic tools to inspect hard‑to‑reach areas, locate hidden defects and provide clear, evidence‑based findings in every report. Below are the key instruments we deploy and how they add value to your inspection.
What it is: A rigid or flexible optical probe with a camera at one end and a display or eyepiece at the other, designed for visual inspection of narrow, confined or otherwise inaccessible cavities.
Why we use it: Allows direct visual assessment of roof voids, wall cavities, sub‑floor spaces and other tight areas without destructive access.
Client benefit: Provides photographic evidence (if required) of concealed issues so you can see exactly what the inspector sees.
What it is: A non‑contact camera that detects and visualises heat signatures across surfaces.
Why we use it: Helps identify temperature anomalies associated with termite activity, moisture intrusion, insulation gaps and hidden leaks.
Client benefit: Rapidly pinpoints areas for further investigation, reducing guesswork and helping prioritise repairs or specialist follow‑up.
What it is: A precision instrument (we use the ME5 Moisture Encounter Plus) that measures moisture content using an electromagnetic field capable of penetrating building materials.
Why we use it: Detects elevated moisture levels and potential ingress points that may indicate leaks, rising damp or condensation issues.
Client benefit: Quantifies moisture risk and supports accurate reporting and remediation recommendations.
