Certified Thermal Imaging & Leak Detection Service

Find A Leak - We are specialists at detecting signs of hidden leaks & moisture behind walls, and finding electrical faults in switchboards using infrared thermal imaging.

Our infrared building inspection system can normally detect signs of a leak within minutes, and our electrical fault detection system will find hot spots within seconds… both systems are non-invasive, non contact and fast (No holes are put in your wall at any stage). Check out some of this weeks featured leaks below!

The reason our leak detection and electrical thermographic services are so popular in NZ, is because we do not try to sell you repair services at the end of the job… giving you the peace of mind you are getting a non-biased independent survey, without an ‘upsell’ at the end.

Click on any of the photos down the righthand side of this page to read about some of the ‘nasty surprises’ we’ve found behind walls in NZ homes using our infrared thermal imaging camera and advanced leak detection services.

The lefthand photo below is an infrared image of a leak around a window frame (in blue) coming down from the ceiling above as seen during a routine thermal imaging house inspection. Moisture in walls can cause both structural integrity problems, and a very unhealthy home.

The most popular and affordable thermal imaging inspection is our home ‘quick scan’

Leaky Building Photo of the month:

(Above Photo) Yes… you are seeing a collapsed floor to the left due to rotted floor joists, and get this, the people are still living in the home! The photo on the right is the untreated framing behind this collapsed flooring on the external wall. Completely rotted timber. The source of the leak that created this issue was a deck over the room leaking down into the external wall.

Leak of the month

 Should you get a leak test before buying a home in NZ? Absolutely. The above photo shows how water from a leaking butanol internal gutter has gone directly down into the wall below (Large dark area is moisture). There was no visual evidence of this major problem, therefore the thermal imaging camera was a crucial tool to pinpointing this water leak!

This weeks featured thermal image of a heavy roof leak:

Another skylight leaking which couldn’t be seen with the naked eye! – This leak is due to poor flashing detail on the roof. The water also continued down the angle of the ceiling and into the external wall. Not good.

This weeks featured deck leak detected using our infrared cameras:

You can see in this infrared photo above where water has penetrated the deck balustrade (Dark areas). There is no run-off for the water to get away, therefore the water is pooling on top and penetrating in through cracks in the plaster. A saddle flashing should have be installed. Too late in this case! Here is another ‘no no’… water pooling around hand rail fixings:

What does rotted moisture damaged timber look like?

The photo above shows rotted timber hiding behind the gib board across the top of a garage door. There is a leaky deck directly above this area on the opposite side of the wall… and the water ingress has travelled down and absolutely destroyed the timber framework. No lintel either??

In New Zealand, leak detection is a very important part of the pre purchase due diligence process when buying a home… just ask a leaky home owner!

Our house inspection system also makes it very hard for sellers to ‘band-aid’ over moisture related problems… we’ll see it anyway!
