Auckland's humid climate and high rainfall make moisture ingress a significant risk for many residential properties. Often, by the time you see a damp patch or smell mould, the water has already caused extensive damage to the internal framing of the house.
At HS Building Inspections, we specialise in non-invasive leak detection. We help you find the source of the problem before it becomes a major structural failure or a health hazard for your family.
Standard building inspections often miss hidden moisture because they rely solely on visual cues. We take a more scientific approach by combining infrared technology with precision moisture meters.
Water has a different thermal mass than dry building materials. Using high-specification thermal cameras, we can identify temperature anomalies behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings. These cold spots often pinpoint the exact location of a hidden leak.
Once a thermal anomaly is found, we use professional, non-invasive moisture meters to confirm the presence of water. This allows us to check the moisture levels of your timber framing and internal linings without damaging your paintwork or wallpaper.
If moisture is detected, we do more than just tell you it is there. Our reports provide:
