Our Building inspectors use various technical tools to aid in their inspections. Some commonly used tools include:

Advance Moisture Meters

 These devices measure the moisture content in materials such as wood, drywall, and concrete, helping to detect water damage or leaks.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Thermal cameras detect temperature differences in building materials, which can indicate issues such as insulation deficiencies, moisture intrusion, or electrical problems.

Digital Cameras

Used to capture visual evidence of defects or issues found during inspections, which can be included in inspection reports.

Laser Measures

Laser measuring devices accurately measure distances and dimensions of rooms, structures, or components during inspections.

Inspection Cameras

Inspection cameras, also known as borescopes or endoscopes, are specialized tools used by building inspectors to visually inspect hard-to-reach or inaccessible areas within structures. These cameras typically consist of a flexible cable or rigid tube with a small camera at the end, which transmits live video or images to a display unit for real-time viewing. Inspection cameras are valuable tools for building inspectors, enabling them to identify hidden defects, assess the condition of inaccessible areas, and provide comprehensive inspections to clients.

Drones

In some cases, drones equipped with cameras are used to inspect difficult-to-reach areas such as roofs or high-rise buildings, providing aerial views for assessment.

These tools help building inspectors gather accurate data, identify defects or safety concerns, and provide thorough assessments to clients. It’s important for inspectors to be trained in the proper use of these tools and to regularly maintain and calibrate them to ensure reliability and accuracy in inspections.
