Certified Thermal Imaging & Leak Detection Service
Find A Leak - We are specialists at detecting signs of hidden leaks & moisture behind walls using infrared thermal imaging. Our infrared building inspection system can normally detect signs of a leak within minutes… it’s non-invasive, non contact and fast (No holes are put in your wall at any stage).
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.

Leak of the month – 2010
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 imaging cladding leak photo:
How do you tell if cladding around your house is leaking? Can you see the ‘dark area’ under the righthand window in the infrared image? That is signs of moisture.
Last 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.
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!
