Termi-build Inspections Gladstone offer detailed termite inspections and reports. Our termite inspections are extremely thorough, so you are able to treat and control any infestations with the most accuracy and precision.

Termi-build use the latest in technology with Flir E75 thermal imaging cameras, in conjunction with moisture meter, borescope, and tapping tools. We use non-invasive tools and inspecting techniques as per AS4349 (Australian Standards) covering timber pest inspection, termite inspection, borer inspection and wood decay fungi (rot) inspection. We do not do just a 30minute walk around, our inspector will cover every nook and cranny of the dwelling that is accessible as well up to 30metres of the yard from the main building for any building defect, safety issues or the sign of timber pests or fungal decay. Most inspections take up to 2 hours.

Before you see termites in a home they have already been working away destroying the structure for some time. It is more likely you will hear or even smell termites. Our inspectors know exactly what to look for and can advise you on the best treatment and prevention methods.

Thermal Imaging Termite Inspections GladstoneBenefits of Thermal Imaging Technology for Termite Inspections

Termi-Build inspections Gladstone has invested in the latest model of the Flir E75 Thermal Imaging Camera, so your inspection report will contain thermal imaging pictures if there is a potential problem found. All inspections by Termi-Build includes a full thermal image scan of the whole house. When it comes to a more efficient and thorough inspection of homes or properties you wish to purchase, thermal image cameras can help us discover any issues that are not easily seen with the naked eye.

BENEFITS INCLUDE:

While a thermal image camera can perform numerous tasks seamlessly, there are some limitations to this type of technology and should not be relied on as a sole inspection tool. With complete visual and structural inspection, we can locate and determine any other concerns that exist on a particular property.

How Thermal Imaging Works

All objects has an existing heat pattern, which is caused by a range of environmental factors such as humidity, ambient temperature and sunlight. These objects are made from a number of aspects such as moisture content and density.

The technology behind thermal imaging is based on thermometers within the camera that can detect variations in heat. These areas are then displayed as images which we can then analyze and interpret.
