Our surveys can uncover building defects that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. It is fast, cost effective and completely non-destructive allowing inspections to take place with minimal disruption to the building occupants. Some of the common building defects our surveys can help uncover are:
- Roof leakage
- Damp and Mould detection
- Cladding, window and other envelope water leaks
- Plumbing Leaks
- Damaged or missing insulation
Unlike traditional surveys, infrared technology can pinpoint building defects. This has significant cost saving advantages over traditional surveys which are limited to making only rough estimates on areas of damage.
Such inaccuracy can often lead to unnecessary repair bills. Our surveys are capable of pinpoint accuracy and leaves customers to concentrate on those and those areas that require attention.
Infrared technology is also a strong tool in verifying the good and exposing the bad. For example, just because insulation was installed does not mean that it is working to its potential. Improperly installed insulation can often have more serious consequences than slightly inflated energy bills.
It can lead to condensation, which leads to further degradation and can create conditions conducive to mould growth, rotting wood and even structural failure.
Non destructive infrared surveys allow our customers to put in place preventative measures to prevent future failures. |
