Infrared Thermal House Scan Auckland November 26th, 2009
Do you live in Auckland? An infrared thermal house scan is the lastest home inspection type that could reveal a whole new side of your home that you didn’t know existed!
After reading Aucklands biggest thermal imaging news website (findaleak.co.nz), you can quickly see what the benefits of an infrared scan inspection are. The question is, once you know what the IR camera can detect, would you buy a home without it?
New residents to NZ are the ones who usually get caught out, because they arrive here and don’t realise there is a major issue going on with buildings built in the ‘leaky home era’. A building inspection company who does not do moisture testing or infrared scanning of homes could potentially miss obvious signs of leaks… and that’s a problem. Why don’t people get infrared scans in addition to a building inspector?
Simple… they don’t want to spend too much money on proper research because the house is already going to cost them enough money. Hah? Sorry, but that is a crazy way of thinking. If you are reading this message and are about to buy a house in Auckland, you should seriously consider taking a look at the website mentioned above to see the real benefits of an infrared thermal scan.

Infrared Moisture Detection April 9th, 2008
Have you had an infrared moisture detection inspection on your home or building? An infrared camera used along side a moisture meter can detect signs of water leaks that may have gone undetected otherwise!
Getting an infrared pre purchase inspection along with a building inspection could go along way towards reducing the risk of buying a home that ‘isn’t as dry on the inside as it looks from the outside’… especially in NZ!
Reducing risk is the name of the game in any industry… buying a property is no different!
In addition, the health risks associated with buying a damp home can make the difference between enjoying your home, and/or being allergic to your home!
