Pre-purchase house inspections can detect areas needing attention.

Housescan pre-purchase home inspection service utilises the latest technology in infrared scanning equipment and conventional moisture detection devices, providing thermal images of a home’s or building’s interior and exterior.

The process is non invasive with the use of an infrared camera that detects, by way of reading with heat, any problem areas in a home that may require attention, maintenance or repair.

Ideal Non Invasive Process

The process is ideal for suspected leaky buildings and displays an infrared photo of surface construction shapes and temperatures behind walls, which are not obvious to the naked eye.

The principal of Housescan, Garry Brown, is an internationally qualified and certified infrared operator with over 25 years’ experience in the building investigation industry.

The inspection includes a thorough structural examination of the home and buildings that will identify any maintenance, repair issues or defects that may require attention.
Comprehensive report. The examination includes a perusal of the local council property file to ensure all necessary permits and approvals are in order.

Issues identified by infrared are discussed with clients and a comprehensive report complying with Standards New Zealand 4306 is emailed within 24 hours of the scan, followed up with a hard copy by mail.

In exchange for a reasonable cost, the client receives a comprehensive indication of the building’s condition, investment peace of mind and the saving of possible hidden costs to a prospective property owner.

This service is also advantageous to clients who wish to sell a property and display a genuine description of a home to prospective property buyers.
