Any home has the potential to leak, depending on its design and the quality of construction, as well as climate conditions.
Certain styles of houses in particular may present a higher risk for water tightness. Particularly, if a house was built, or had major renovations undertaken between 1992 and 2004.
If you are interested in a home that has these types of features then a comprehensive “On-Site” property inspection is essential. The inspection will look for signs of water ingress or potential leaks using non-invasive moisture scans and thermal imaging around walls, exterior doors and windows to identify if there are any areas of high moisture levels.
When using thermal imaging equipment in conjunction with our moisture testing equipment the inspector has the ability to scan all walls and ceilings and can detect plumbing leaks, missing insulation, leaks through the roof, windows, doors, flashings and gutter leaks - all of which may cause water ingress in to your home.
