Thermal Imaging Inspection on the Sunshine Coast

At Dedant Building and Pest Inspections, we use the best technology available. This includes a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter. Whilst there’s no tool available that allows us to see behind walls, these tools do allow for a more comprehensive inspection.

A thermal imaging camera is an amazing tool that allows us to detect anomalies that may not be visible to the human eye. Such as large heat spots indicating termite activity or possible water leaks. It is also helpful for identifying rising damp.

A moisture meter is also used during a building and pest inspection. It provides a reading of moisture levels on certain objects and areas like plaster and bathroom tiles. This moisture reading helps our inspectors to ascertain whether there may be any water issues or areas that are conducive to termites.
