One of the biggest threats to your house is from tiny pests called termites that live in wood. It is not unheard of to have termite damage in some houses in the tens of thousands of dollars. Depending on moisture levels and climate and location of a colony, it could take three to eight years before the signs of an infestation-serious damage to your house are apparent. If you don't catch them early, you might be in for large repair costs.

Because termites mostly live underground or in the walls of your home, you are unlikely to see the termites themselves. They cannot be detected with the naked eye if they are in a wall cavity or obstructed by building material. Traditional methods of termite detection such as prodding or tapping a timber beam with a screwdriver and looking for termite mud is only successful where timber is accessible.

Did you know that most termite activity is not seen with the naked eye!

How do you inspect for termites in wall cavities where you can't visualise or prod/tap timber beams?

Solution

Our thermal imaging camera may detect termite and other thermal related activity where the naked eye cannot see. A thermal imaging camera is utilised to detect termite and pest ‘heat signature'. This camera can also detect other 'heat signature' related damage such as rising damp, water leaks from plumbing, moisture damage.
